Hi everyone!
My name is shaun, I’ve just bought a Japanese import automatic mini
Transmission was missing reverse so have now removed engine and been to see Martin at Mra minis to get a rebuild kit! Very nice person and his tools seem high quality having used the puller yesterday to remove the torque converter, came off in a couple of minutes following his instructions!
Anyway, I live in bath, have had a few minis over the years, but this is the first for a long time and the first auto, so looking forward to getting it on the road!

Welcome Shaun. I'm sure you will find lots of help and information with this group. How do you like driving an automatic?

Hey, I have to say, I don’t know! I drove it all of 200m in D to where I took the engine out…and had to push it backwards for some of that, so at the moment, can’t really comment on how it drives!

Hi Shaun, i did see a Jdm mini with a faulty transmission for sale recently, perhaps you bought that one, it was a tidy example if it was. Sounds like the top/reverse clutch pack, i,m sure Martin would have filled you in. Remember to enjoy the rebuild experience, once you get your head around them,their not that scary.
