Is the M5 shifter REALLY clunk and notchy? It's the first manual I've ever driven, so I have absolutely nothing to compare it to. No one else has driven my car, so I can't ask their opinions either.
I particually find that when I'm in neutral and put the car into first, I can feel 2 notches. If I pull it back to neutral and back to 1st, it goes in smoothly.
The shift into 2nd while accelarting often feels like it's hard to do. I don't have to slam it, but it's not as smooth as shifting into all the other gears.
I've never heard any grinding or slipping noises, but could it just be issues with the shifter or a part of it, or could I have a greater transmission issue going on?
