hehe, you know what...i have this problem, and have had for the 18 months i owned the car. I dont know why it's doing it, or whether its damaged by it...but it does get annoying. I have a new one ready to go on, but its a mission to take the gearbox off!

All i can tell you is that mine does it too, and i have no idea why.
