Hi ,
I have a 2006 Mini cooper S with paddle shifters . I believe its a automatic and not a CVT . Does that sound right ?
If thats the case would the above steps hold true for my model. ? my mini has 31k miles on it and called in a dealer for the inspection1 service and they said it would need a tranny fluid flush as part of the inspection 1 service. Is that correct ? When should i be doing this transmission flush service ?

If you have an automatic transmission and not a CVT, this article will apply to your vehicle. This would be the service the dealer recommended.
