R56 Popping out of 1st gear

Popping out of 1st gear
Have a 2007 stick shift Mini Cooper S and ever since I bought it I've noticed every once in a while I'll put it into 1st and start to let off the clutch and give it gas and all of a sudden it pops out, sometime it's so powerful it pops all the way out of gear and sometimes it pops out and starts grinding. It has gotten really annoying so does anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?

I have a 2013 MCS, and occasionally, I've experienced the same thing, but in 6th gear. It happens when I'm shifting, pushing 3500/4000 R's. It's disconcerting.

Usually when this happens it could be either a linkage issue or the transmission is going out/needing rebuild. Sometimes if you drain the fluid in the trans. you can see if there is anything serious going on by looking at the fluid for metal type shavings. Usually there will be excessive amount. these are just a few things it could possible be. Not at all saying this is it. good luck!

The bearings are worn allowing slop in the shafts, and the torque from the gears engaging just pushes them out of engagement. You need a complete rebuild or a new transmission. Changing the fluid will be an unneccessary cost, I am afraid. Are you the original owner? How many miles?
