Actually, there is. If you look on Getrag's site, the tranny used in the MCS does indeed have a syncro on reverse. I've tested it out (moving forward slowly then shifting into reverse). I believe MINI designed reverse hard to get into just for this reason. You don't want to accidentally shift into reverse when moving at any forward speed. That would be bad . It's just something to get used to.
