2013 Mini Cooper Questions & Answers

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Mini? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mini Cooper? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Cooper’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Cooper is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my Cooper's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2013 Cooper’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Mini. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Mini Cooper transmission fluid leak? Yes. Mini Cooper transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who can fix my  Mini Cooper transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair Cooper transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Mini Cooper if it has a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your Cooper if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
