Hey guys I am trying to find a short shifter where I don't have to take out anything and came across the one http://outmotoring.com/mini_cooper_s..._adapter_.html
check out and let me know what you think or if anyone has this one installed let me know if it is any good alrigth. They say that it is 37% faster

 

I just had one installed a week or so ago. Actually had Eric at Helix do the install. Feels good, tightens up the shift. The overall throw of the shift is shortened but I was more impressed with the positive feel of the shifter.
