Towed a Mini home

[notsure]

Just towed a 2003 Mini home and joined up on this forum. The Mini is a 2003 with 60 thousand miles. It will start and run but the CVT will not move it much and makes lots of noise. Now who has a good service manual? I want to post my venture up in the right forum. Where do I start?

It's going to be very expensive to replace the CVT

The car was only a $1,500 and I will rebuild the ECVT myself. With 60 thousand miles and not a mark on the car I couldn’t pass up the challenge.

Now I need a good service manual....

I have taken a few before shots while waiting on the service manual to arrive but can’t post them up yet. Says I need 15 posts before I can put pictures up.

The service manual has arrived! Time to pull the transmission this weekend.
