    Welcome, thanks for joining Motoring Alliance, the FUN and Friendly MINI Community.

    Has the "lifetime" gear oil ever been changed?

    Welcome to M/A! I'd get the tranny fluid changed. I did that with my '06 MCS at 100k and the car acts like new now.

    Change the gear oil & fish around with a magnet to see how many magnetic fish you find. Check the shift cables as that could be the problem.

    Good luck & welcome to M/A
