What to know about the Aisin automatic in a Mini Cooper
- The Mini article describes the first-generation Cooper S automatic as an Aisin 6F21WA/TF60SN with paddle shifters. Wikipedia's Aisin list gives the Mini Cooper 6F21WA for 2005–2011.[1, 2]
- The Aisin list places the F54, F55, F56, F57 and F60 six-speed automatics in the same TF-60SN family, and says the eight-speed versions use a different Aisin, the AW F8 F35. The Mini article names no Aisin for the F56, so we confirm yours from the VIN.[1, 2]

Questions we get asked
Which gearbox does my Mini Cooper automatic have?
First-generation automatics have the Aisin TF-60SN six-speed. Newer cars may have a six- or eight-speed automatic, or a dual-clutch gearbox, which is a different job. Send us your registration and we confirm it.
How often should a Mini automatic gearbox be serviced?
Our own advice is around every 60,000 miles on average, sooner for short trips and stop-start driving.
Is a Mini CVT or dual-clutch the same service?
No. This page is for the torque-converter automatics. Other Mini gearboxes need their own procedure, so call us with your registration.
How much is a Aisin automatic gearbox service on a Mini Cooper?
A static service (drain and fill, level set at the correct fluid temperature) is from £399, and a dynamic fluid exchange on our machine is from £799, both priced to your car. The price moves with which Aisin automatic version it has, the pan and filter part and how much has to come off to reach it. Give us your registration and we confirm a fixed price in writing before we start.
