I just sent my CVT cooper in for a service and found out I need a new transmission too!

I was having some minor issues, car stuttering at low speeds, a couple of random stalls etc, but figured it probably just needed the latest software update. Then on the way to the dealer the engine started sticking - first at 1,600 rpm and then at 2,000 rpm. The only way I could push above this was to switch to manual shifting (even the sport mode wasn't helping).

So to cut a long story short, out goes the old transmission and in goes a new one. But this has me concerned - is there an issue with the CVT generally that I should be wary of in the future??

(2003 build Mini, delivered in August, 8500km on the clock, no crazy driving!)
