Hi there
Mine is exactly the same, infact, according to my dealer 'they all do it' - that is all the MINI's fitted with the 5 speed Getrag gearbox (since 04 model refresh). I asked to take a couple of the demonstrators out and they were both the same. I can't say I noticed it when I had my original test drive(s) though.... They didn't say anything to me about a possible future 'fix'
I can't say I really have any problem with clutch operation asuch though. The box can seem a bit notchy sometimes but this seems to be getting smoother with use. Just the clonking bothers me really. I have heard it can take many thousands of miles to break-in nicely.
