Thank you so much, Graham, for all the informations you gave me. I will do ASAP an oil&filter change and, about this task, I have another question: I imagine that a certain amount of old oil remains inside the converter. If this is true, how can I empty the converter in order to have the trasmission filled with only fresh oil? |
change the oil, so there is always some old oil in the system. If your
current oil is really old, you might want to drive the car "around the
block" and then change it a second time. If 10% of the old oil remains
in the torque converter the first time, then only 10% of 10%, eg: 1%,
will remain after the second change. Normally you wouldn't worry about
it, just change it once.

Another question is about the shift selector: it has the RN123D pattern, so I think it's the old type. |
The older version, which is the only type we got in Australia, has no
park, just RN1234D (the Mini was killed off here long before the later
version appeared)
The later version has PRN123D (no manual 4 position).

I think it needs a little adjusting, because is a bit "retarded": for example, 1st gear engages when the selector is not exactly at 1 position but almost between 1 and 2. Can this little misadjustement cause any strange effect? |
adjustment is at the gearbox end of the cable. Keith has posted details
if your news server doesn't strip out binaries.
