Smoother Gear Change

Hi everyone,

I've had my MCS for about 6 weeks and I LOVE IT.... ADORE IT... but I'm finding it difficult to change gears smoothly. I'm sure it's my style of driving (my last car was a 1972 Beetle) so I'm hoping that some of you more experienced MINI drivers can help.

When I change gear, I can see out of the corner of my eye the front passenger being (gently) thrown forward then back into the seat (it feels much smoother to me but I suppose that's because I'm holding on to the steering wheel!!). I don't really push my MCS usually as I do most of my driving in central London where lots of cameras are lurcking around, and when I have passengers in the car, they are of the sort that prefer a smooth, safe drive (if you know what I mean).

Any advice on my driving technique would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Pappillon
