★ Top Answer
The 2008 MINI Cooper S has known issues such as rough gear shifting, gear sticking, and warning light illumination, often caused by a valve cover leak. A burning transmission fluid smell might indicate this problem, which could eventually require a full transmission replacement if not addressed promptly. Despite the manufacturer suggesting no need for frequent fluid changes, it is recommended to change it annually. Some manuals advise fluid changes every 40,000 to 100,000 miles. However, replacing the transmission can be costly, ranging from $6,500 to $7,000, exceeding the current value of the car, valued from $5,140 to $6,661 according to KBB.
