2004 R50 Shifting Issues
I recently purchased a 2004 MC with 93,*** miles on it and I really just love driving the car and now I want a MCS! That will come but for now I have to focus on my MC. I put a list of service that has been done, and the car came with all the service records performed at a Mini dealer and I just had some service done at an indy dealer who specializes in German Vehicles. I am having issues it seems where my shifts just don't feel right, I mean in the actual shifter and not the transmission, where I seem to get some resistance when shifting (as if something is pulling on the shifter while going trough gears, it's tough sometimes to get into a gear today it seemed 1st gear was the problem child. I just don't know where to go with this one, the services are under warranty but at different shops so not sure what the problem could be. I have 5,000 miles left on Maxcare warranty which just saved me $1900 last week!
