Welcome to MINI2. I don't think that I can explain it any clearer than the posts that are already on this thread.

The MCSa is a conventional hydraulic automatic transmission built by Aisin. Installed in MCS automatic models from 2005 on.

The CVT is a continuously variable transmission installed in all automatic coopers until 2007, at which time MINI switched 2007 Cooper models to the Aisin. A Google search for CVT will give you pages of info about that transmission.

Correct, there never was, and will never be a MCS with CVT. The MC for 2007 now has the Aisin six speed.
