Installed Raceseng Shift **** - Instantly Loose?
Hi, I was tired of the shift **** that came in our used 2013 Cooper S. I installed a Raceseng shift **** after reading a lot of great things about them. They use threaded adapter with 4 set screws. I installed everything as instructed and even used blue locktite. Less than a mile down the road it was instantly loose and sloppy. It seems as if all the set screws came loose immediately. Anyone have any tips of this specific shift ****? Not real happy with my $250 purchase currently...

Looks like the adapter hasn’t seated correctly, or has come loose? The adapter should be pretty snug on the shift lever, and the screws should only help it from turning. I’ve had mine for years now, and it hasn’t ever loosened up… I would take it apart and see if anything is broken or has come out of alignment.

Update to this thread. After going back and forth with Raceseng I found out that my factory shift rod had been shortened by the previous owner and reason why their adapter wont work. I had no idea, my first mini and never thought the shift **** was aftermarket or the rod cut. Raceseng unfortunately didn't have an adapter that would work with my modified rod so I'll be sending it back and just returning back to my old one. Might look into a cravenspeed short shifter down the road.
