Its a six speed manual gear box surely! Agreed you can popit in reverse instead of first. Not aware of any fix for this other than take care! There is also a gear display which tells you which gear you're in and prompts u to change but that doesnt help that much!

Phew that's a relief i was panicking slghtly. A lot of people think the same as you re reverse me included .why they can't i introduce a simple collar is beyond me and i feel so sorry for learners when i see motoring schools using minis . not seen a solution but someone might.if its any consolation time helps you develop strategies to cope!
