Default New here and have a question about my mini

Looking to do a transmission swap in my 03 mini and was wondering if anyone has swapped an auto for a manual. My auto has gone out, typical prone problem with the auto, belt came apart and trashed the trans. I don't want to pay for another "prone problem" auto cvt trans and would like a manual instead, thanks

I havn't heard of that swap being done but i'm sure it is possible. Do you have any Mini Cooper specialists in your area?

I would ask them and maybe your local speed shop. Good luck!
