Just installed mine with all 3 shims. feels fantastic.

 

I just installed one on my 1/2003 Cooper. It won't start with two or three shims, but it will with one. I tested clutch release with the drive wheels in the air and one actually seems good. Haven't driven it yet though.

 

Yes I helped my sitation by installing this devise but could only use one shim, any more and I could not get it into gear. Also this unit installs easy but if you have to remove to change shim it is a risky deal as the plastic post is very weak and is not designed to be removed.

 

It sucks people with older mini's can't use all 3 shims. I took mine out after having it in for about a month and I almost didn't want to drive my car. You wouldn't think such a little $10 product could make such a difference.

 

I believe they make one that has a treaded post for the older mimi's maybe that would work?

 

these work for 2007 r56s? it says 08+ on the site

 

Yup. Used on mine.

ordered

 

Ordered this as well. It's a no brainer mod.

 

This is the Best Ten Dollars I've spent On my Mini Yet! My shifting is SOOO MUCH Better Now I can't stand by this product enough it took what felt like a over long drawn out clutch pedal and really turned it into perfect Thank BMS super awesome!

 

Ordered. I didn't realize that the clutch didn't need a full press. I tried pushing it 'almost' all the way in a few times, and... smoother shifts! What the heck MINI? Thanks for the tip!

 

Another vote for 3 shims on the R56. Great little piece.

 

The site now lists application as '07+. Ordered

 

I installed it with 2 spacers and i love it. Thinking about putting the third one back in to see how I like it. Absolutely recommend this if you're on the fence

 

I installed with 2 shims, did not even try 3. Love it, worth every penny of 10 bucks. I would be interested to feel it with 3 shims, but since everyone was running 2 I jumped on board.

If your on the fence, just buy it, you have nothing to lose.

 

Put mine in today (2) 3 worked good too, just a little too quick

I love these cost hardly anything but makes a big difference mods

 

Glad you guys are enjoying them.

 

Just ordered....we shall see.

 

Terry, I tried to PM you but can't. I have an N14 engine and am looking for something like what you offer for the N18 (is piggyback ECU the right term?) How do I get in touch? Thanks!

 

There is contact information listed on the company website.

Ian it is not offered for N14, N18 only for now

Thanks minimech. I don't mean to hijack the thread, but maybe someone can help me? Any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive way of upping the boost some? So far I've only done warranty friendly mods. I had a major service with Way a couple months ago to meet him and his crew. Drove through the night from New Orleans to Atlanta to see him. In a year or two I'll probably head back to do a tune and supporting mods, but until I feel comfortable ditching my warranty, an easily reversible piggy back ECU looks attractive to me. I should probably call and ask Way, but I've bugged him enough with maintenance questions and I'd appreciate other people's views from experience with their daily drivers. Please PM me if you have thoughts/suggestions as I don't want to hijack the thread. Thanks!

 

Just ordered one. Anxiously waiting.

Ian, check the other thread. It is still in beta but from what I read it does exactly what you are asking but only for N18 non JCW engines.

Hd580, I forgot to mention I have an N14

 

Wow what a difference. Installed with 3 shims. Then tried with 2 then went back to 3. 3 is for me. Have had my mini since NOV 2012 and have been unable to stop bouncing the headlights when switching from 1st to 2nd gear in the higher rpm range. Looked and felt like a noob driver. So I would try to compensate for the rpm drop and blip the gas when shifting but this was very inconsistent. Must be just the way I operate the clutch because not having to move it and extra 1-2 cm makes shifting very smooth.
