I'm interested in the answers to those questions too. I can help with the first one, I don't believe there is enough room in the engine compartment for a regular automatic transmission.

Thanks!
MINI of San Francisco just told me there is no "regular" automatic for the non-S, so _that's_ out.
They are selling a rebuilt CVT for $4750 plus refundable core charge. MINI of Concord's retail price is $5173 plus core.

My independent (Bill Arnold) is going to look for a used CVT with a warranty. He's estimating 10hrs of labor if all goes well. I'll probably get this fixed to stock form & buy a manual model.
