I'm hoping someone can offer some insight into an issue I'm experiencing with my 2015 Mini Paceman. It's a diesel model. Recently, the check engine light and transmission indicator light have illuminated. I've noticed the gearbox slips and shifts rather uncleanly. There are also grinding noises when shifting gears, and an error is stored in the error memory. From what I've read so far, it seems the automatic transmission converter is defective, specifically the lock-up clutch. Is this a likely cause, and if so, what should be my next steps?
