Hi Folks, new to the forum and to Mini's. Looking to purchase a 2017 Clubman S and had a few question/concerns I was hoping someone here would be kind enough to shed some light on. The first is the clutch, it's really heavy or stiff. I driven a few manual transmissions and none with a cutch this heavy. The second is reverse, I'm not sure how you describe the type or action but to overcome that friction point past first/second gear I feel like I'm going to break the thing! The third is, at idle you can feel the slightest engine vibration or shake maybe is a better way to describe it. If you just touch the gas it goes away/ smooths out or if its idling down it doesn't start until it's at it's lowest RPM.


If anyone on the above questions or anything I should be looking for, the info would be greatly appreciated!! TIA!
