Hello
My name is Chris - I have a c reg mini auto - this looks like a great forum.
I do have a question - my mini does not go into forward gear for 20 mins or so when starting. can anybody recommend somebody who can rebuild my gearbox in the west sussex or near by area.
thank you :-)

Hi Chris welcome to the forum.
I assume you have checked the oil level correctly it is critical as per :-
"Dipstick readings must be taken on level ground. A characteristic feature of automatic transmissions requires that, after overnight standing, the engine is started before checking the oil level. Run for 1 minute, switch off and wait for 1 minute before checking."
and that the oil is clean and of MA2 specification not 20/50? Does the car drive OK in all gears after it is warmed up?
Finding some one to rebuild the gearbox locally who knows what they are doing is going to be difficult, can you get the engine and gearbox out or is it a deliver the car get someone to repair and then collect it?
All the best Paul.
