Hi all

2 days ago my 05 r50 auto started not changing gear.... It's especially noticeable when accelerating between 60-70kms and upwards engine will just rev and making 'vroom' noise.

this morning it has gotten worse, car will not go any faster than 30km/hr, and sits on high revs ~4000rpm, even when i use SD, it will say 3rd gear but still sits on high rev.

i tried reseting battery, and googled few sites, i dont have any error code non does my gear sits in 'XD' or 'XR' etc.... just D. although there are drips of fluids next to the engine oil drain bolt

wondering if any1 have come across this or knw if this s a common issue for minis

Thx in advance :)
