MINI Transmission Flush

A transmission flush is only needed if your system contains dirt or debris.

MINI Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is thicker due to additives and other compounds imperative to lubricate the gearbox and other parts. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is explicit.

Not only are the fluids alternative between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is very alternative. Automatic transmissions generate a lot more heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be interchanged more usually. If you don't change your MINI transmission fluid, your transmission will have broken metal shavings and alternative corrosive material spread throughout the big components of your MINI.
