I have a 2005 R52 with an automatic that's acting up. I would like to order the valve body like you said for a 2010 can you share the info you use to order this ? Thanks in advance for your help on this Bill
I have an 06 MCS that is starting to have show subtle signs of these shifting issues after warm up and driving for about 10 or so miles. Have flushed and filter changed with great improvement, but feel like maybe the valve body change would be a good idea as well. I have read multiple blogs about different valve bodies, good and bad, EBay sellers good and bad, etc. and don’t want to waste money or time here. Can you share the information on the valve body you used in this video? Your explanation of the solenoid issue makes perfect sense but I want to make sure I order the correct one from the correct supplier to avoid as many issues as possible. Thanks for sharing the video!
Is that the same thing you did to my car because if it is you did a fantastic job on it and my car shifts great I have an 06 Mini Cooper S convertible also I'll tell you this guy's brakes pantastic and I trust him all the way.
Can you share your 2010 VIN you used to order the later style VB? I have an 06 in my shop I'm ordering one for tomorrow. Glad i came across this video. Cheers
I just did solenoids and put the same valve body back in. But car is now slipping/hard shifting/ popping into neutral. I took it to a shop who said it sounds like the fluid is cavitating. You can hear the pump sucking air. I pulled the valve body again, and put the old solenoid back in, and I'm still have the same issue! I'm at a loss, hoping you can help.
Hi there I have a Cooper S with the Aisin TF60SN and have replaced the 5 solenoids apart from N88 and N89 which I will do next (should have done first time) Only issue it has is hard shift 2-1 and 1-2. It’s never had trouble codes and the new solenoids have not made any real difference. I may end up doing a valve body in the end and was thinking about using Wolfsburg Tunings out of Fort Myers Florida which is recon but flow tested with new solenoids. Any experience of this brand, or do you only ever fit Mini genuine valve bodies? And do you fancy selling me one if so, as I bet you can get them way cheaper in the states than I can in Perth Australia 😀
Hey, I loved the vid! Lots of good info. I have an 05 that has harsh shifting from 1-2 and 2-3. It gets a little better after it warms up though. It’s got 176k on it, but the fluid came out almost perfect. I did is filter and fluid change to see if that would help but it did not. What would you do? Do you k kw of a cheaper solution than the pricy dealer valve body. Have you had any luck just changing the solenoids?
If I wanted to change out a bad solenoid, can I just change them all out? Mini Cooper trying to tell me I need to replace the whole valve body. Only 4th gear is acting funny. No whining, no grinding. Nothing…. I let off the gas when I’m coming up on fourth gear and I like to catch on its own..
Looking for some info on my sons failed automatic in his 2011 R55 S and I just found your and subscribed when you said you like Trans Ams. I have 79TATA I'm about to restore plus 30th and CETA edition Trans Ams. Where is you shop located in California?
Where to order the updated valve body? Great video
PLZZZZ give the info on where to purchase this valve body you are using!!
How do you reset the adaptations? Do you just drive it like you said early on in the video for a couple hundred miles?

I have a 2008 cooper s and when it shifts in to second or third it revs up and then shifts. Is that a valve body as well?
