Slack MINI One gear lever
Discussion
I have a 2007 Mini one with 110,000 miles on the clock. The gear lever seems to have become a bit slack and does not return to the central position as forcefully as it used to when the car was new (particularly when the weather is very cold). I would guess that a return spring must be worn somewhere. This is not a massive problem and the car drives perfectly as it is but I would like to know whether this can be easily fixed or is it likely to be expensive?

Very common fault with a mini fitted with a getrag 'box. We gets loads in. There's a repair kit on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=...

Thanks Oilyscouse,
My gear lever isn't stiff though, it is floppy. If I push it left or right it stays at an angle rather than springing back to vertical. It isn't a problem in everyday use, it just means that you have to be positive with your location of the gears. Do you think that the E Bay repair kit is still the correct part that is needed?

Its probably the pin as suggested but the garage chose to change the whole assembly, see below for similar.
