I recently posted about looking for an upgraded exhaust and now i'm interested in any options for reducing the throw on the shifter.. Its not for racing purposes but I feel like it could use something a bit tighter..

Any popular upgrades without exceeding the hundreds of dollars threshold?

Thanks!

I've been using a Helix short throw shifter for about 2 years with no problems. Installation will require you to get under the car and drop the exhaust. Lots of nuts and bolts but not too difficult.

Tyrol sport shift rx. Seems pretty sweet. Or you could cut the shifter shorter n make new threads lol

This is what I would try.

 

Solid piece for those with the 2007 - 2009 model years.
Tyrolsport is working (last time I checked) on kits for the 2010+ models.

I've used every brand of short shifter and when I put one in my Clubman I went with the Craven SS kit. I love being able to adjust it depending on where I'm driving as I can make it shorter or longer. Longer is better when I get stuck in traffic. Also I think it has a crisper feel than just putting the adapter on the bottom. And on top of it all I installed the shift well cover from Craven, which I have grown to love, at first I just did it to do it, but like it so much better than the boot now.
I also put on a Whalen shift machine ****, which I would do on any MINI.

If you do go with the adapter I really prefer the NM adapter.

 

I installed the NM and it works just fine. Cheap too.

 

Lots of suggestions - im sure ill put them all to good use thanks guys!

 

NM adapter with cover and the M7 Carbon Fiber **** is what i'm running. Great combo. Short, tight and smooth!
