04' Cooper S Gearshift
Discussion
mine was really really stiff when new. the now wife couldn't even engage reverse until it had warmed a bit.
nowadays if it's cold it can be a bit stiff but not really stiff.
depends what you've come from i guess. if i drive something likea focus then the mini does seem a fair bit more 'mechanical'.

Update:
Car was taken into Sytner Coventry on Tuesday for an Insp1 service and to have a look at this stiff gearshift. I get a call Tuesday afternoon to say service done but needs new gearbox. Thankgod i have cherished warranty!! Would have cost a fortune ohterwise.
I asked if the gearbox was knackered as it was just stiff, no actual crunching or other difficulties. I got the impression they couldn't be arsed to investigate and just ordered a new one. Hopefully it should be a nice slick shift now.
Picking it up later.
