This metallic catch some times severely impedes shifting the gear and I have to struggle to get from Park to Reverse. Some times it is not so bad but it is NEVER smooth.

I took it to the dealer, after driving a Corolla which has the same style of gear shift [and this was smooth] last week. Initially I ignored it because I came from a BMW which has buttons instead of manual shifting of gears so I thought I have to get used to shifting gears with Lexus.

The technician and I also tried a brand new NX in the show room and this also had this funny "metallic catch-restriction" when shifting from Park to Reverse.

So he is going to write it up to Lexus.

Any one else having the same issue?
