Official Whalen Shift Machine (****) Thread
I've been away from MINI for about 4 years, but I'm thrilled to say that I'm finally back - this time in a Countryman! I was a bit surprised that I haven't seen much talk or pictures of what was one of my favorite MINI mods - the Whalen Shift Machine. So I thought I'd start an Official Whalen Shift Machine Thread for Countryman Owners.
Here is my Whalen **** - I'm calling it JCW red because it matches the JCW Design Package I'll try to take some better photo's, but I'm absolutely loving it and had to share.
Let's see yours!

These are cool, I'm thinking of an idea for one...can you guys that have them show maybe with some pictures what it looks like from above? What I mean is, it looks like in most of these pics that there is just a stick coming out of the big round base, what does it look like in there? And is it possible to keep the "leather" thing that covers the stick of the original shifter? Oh, and do they get hot??? Thanks a bunch!

Also - I hear it can get hot in the Texas heat, so I bought this shift **** cover for when I have to park outside.

Apple iPod socks. I bought a 3 pack years ago and had one just lying around. It fit perfectly.

BTW, I didn't reply to this. Here is a reply to the question from Doug Whalen:

PS: Maybe your Webmaster has the Y2K Bug ?
1st and 2nd gen shift ***** (stock or mine) are not compatible, because of the dimensional change to the shift lever for 2007.
A 1st gen **** will not slide down far enough to lock on to a 2nd gen shift lever, so it will not stay on.
A 2nd gen **** will lock on to a 1st gen lever; but the anti-rotation pin inside the **** will not fit down into the slot at the top of the lever, and the **** will spin.

Got mine two days ago. it's great. Really like the solid feel. It has been in the 90's during the day in Atlanta but the **** has not been unbearable to hold.I used two zip ties on the bottom side of the shift boot cover to have it snugged up against the shift ****. It is smaller than the stock shift **** but love the solid feel of it.
