F55/F56 First gear problem...

First gear problem...
so I just got my f56 s, and I got it manual but sometimes when I go from N to 1st gear and lift the clutch, the gear pops out... is this just for my mini?
when I carefully put 1st gear in than it would stay and i can change to second but for the other gears I get feelings that the gear went in fully but for the first gear it feels not stable.. for the other gears I get two feelings that feels like its locked but for the first gear it feels like its not fully went even though I do this carefully...

Still happening to me. Been trying to get it to happen on command. Sometimes if I stop then put it from neutral to 2nd 10 times then put it into first it will pop out.
At first I thought it was that I wasn't depressing the clutch fully. It is not that.
I think it is the linkages.
Make sure that your dealer opens a ticket on the issue. When there are enough complaints they will look into it.

okay.. so I left my car at dealer and they couldn't get the gear pops out.. so I went again to show them and I was able to let them pop the gear out!!! and 2 days later I got call from dealer and they said they are changing the transmission... so I guess for people who are experiencing this should go to dealer asap and change your transmissions too... I left my mini for 5 days now and they said they should be able to fix everything by next thursday...

Its not about the weight of shift ****. Its the matter of shifter and I have tried test drive other car and it was totally different for the first gear fitness. So if anyone is having this problem they should goto dealer not changing their shift ****.

Like I said: No opinion on the pop-out issue. If it's a sycnro issue, a shift **** obviously won't fix that. But that being said, a heavier shift **** lends much more positive overall feel to manually shifting this particular platform. It's more for the "I tend to push or pull it out of gear accidentally" crowd. Just my 2-cents as always.

To answer my own question. There are no replaceable parts. There is one part number 23008617542 (just under $4k). This will be an expensive repair!
Interestingly enough....house building is going this way too....modular housing where your don't repair the toilet - you just replace the bathroom.

Getrag probably warranties their trannies to BMW. So, BWM will file a claim with them and get credited for that. It's just faster for the dealer's techs to replace the whole tranny rather than take it apart. That's why dealerships do it this way.

Took my car to the dealership this morning. After 3 mini's I know the head mechanic quite well. We jumped I the car I drove managed to get it to do it without leaving the lot. We drove back in and they scanned my key and opened a ticket. By the time I got to my office they service adviser called saying that the mechanic had spoken to MINI and they needed to scan the car and the transmission (get the numbers etc)...her said it is likely they will put in a new transmission!
Squeeky wheel...take your cars in. They should not do this.
