Hi everyone,

So since maybe one week now, my car started to do strange things..
The major problem is the folllwing:
Sometimes my shifter and my Clutch feel way more hard/stiff than usual, like way more. I think it happen when I'm in the traffic or when I drive for 1-2 hours..
So I think it could be related to the engine/weather getting hotter.
Also, both of them are now doing squeeking noses, when I press/release Clutch and when I engage/desengage a gear.

I already tried to lube transmission cables under the air intake and under the shift boot, but both problems are still there.

Thanks a lot for your help!
Tristan

Edit:
I have a 2005 Mini Cooper S
And I have a craven speed short shifter
