Fluid level is ok, I already checked it. So, your Mini did the same? Emergency mode and all? What did you end up doing to fix your car transmission?

Yeah, emergency mode was a pain. Seriously annoying. In the end, I took it to a workshop. They diagnosed it as a transmission oil issue, probably worn out. They recommended a full transmission flush and new hydraulic fluid. Worth getting it checked out properly.

Thanks for the help! Turns out it was undervoltage causing the transmission to freak out. Got it sorted for 240€. New transmission oil and a flush fixed the implausible shifting behavior.

Sounds familiar. I had similar transmission problems with my Mini One. The car transmission was acting up, and the transmission indicator light kept popping on. I remember being super frustrated. Have you checked the hydraulic fluid level? Low fluid can cause weird shifting. A transmission flush might help too.
