The Story
Revitalize your first-generation "R53" Mini Cooper S with this premium JDM 2002-2006 Supercharged Automatic Transmission. Sourced from clean, low-mileage Japanese donor vehicles, this genuine OEM unit is the superior choice for replacing a failed or slipping transmission in your performance-focused Mini. Unlike domestic units that have often been pushed to their limit in heavy traffic, these JDM-spec transmissions are inspected for optimal torque converter health, valve body responsiveness, and gear-synch integrity. Engineered to handle the specific power delivery of the supercharged 1.6L engine, this direct-fit replacement ensures your Cooper S returns to its signature sharp, responsive driving characteristics.
