2006 Mini Gear Shift Issue

[GLASEM]

My wife was driving the Mini today
All was fine shifting then......putting it in first...it stalled
Reving it she could get it going but all the other gears were like a spoon in a
bowl of oatmeal...…..shift pattern was not correct
She parked it and I drove it home
Found no reverse gear......but lever in reserve was one of the higher gears
While in gear can move lever side to side with no gear grinding
Sounds like a shift cable went
Did have some smell of clutch but does seem to be slipping
Mini has only 90K miles

Time to check the cables. They clip in and can sometimes get un-clipped, resulting in problems finding gears.
