I was wondering what options we have out there for weighted shift *****, I've seen the aluminum/stainless steel ones and they are very nice, but living in AZ, doesnt make them practical during the summer. Any thoughts?

 

I can't speak to any but the Whalen, that I just installed. A work of art, of course very functional with the extra weight.

What would be weighted, but not metal...curious. And that wouldn't become hot in sunlight?

The Whalens detach easily...stow it out of the sun?

 

I have TWM performance shift ****. I am not into all that flashy shift **** stuff so I just bought a normal one.

There is a slection for MINI in the middle of the page. If you choose one just select MINI and it will work.

 

In my E46 BMW i had the mtech shifter, which was leather and weighted, compared to stock, looking for something like that, I was thinking maybe putting a stainless steel one and put a sock on top or something, dam az summers!

 

I've got a custom Whalen in Las Vegas, I just wear driving gloves in the summer.
