Automatic Transmission (Mini Cooper): Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The ECVT (Electro Constantly Variable Transmission) is available on the MINI COOPER. The origins of the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) manufactured by ZF dates back to 1974 with, at that time, a revolutionary rubber drive belt. After several years of development, a new generation of CVT has evolved, incorporating the use of a steel drive belt.
