hi ppl, just purschased a nice 2002 mini cooper, but the clutch is slipping slighty and was wondering if this is a common fault with the auto minis out there?
where is the gearbox oil top up located, was thinking this could be low and hence making it slip.

i did notice the powersteering fluid is on the low side, gather this wouldnt have any affect the clutch slipping, just thought worth a mention.

anyone had a replacement done, any ideas on cost ???

thank you for any pointers you may have

Mike

My wifes auto mini is the same year and occassionally cuts out when cold and she engages drive - does yours do that ?
Thinking it may also be related to transmission oil level but like you can not find a dip stick. There is probally a fill & level point under the car but only god and a paid mechanic knows where & how ears
