There are some products that will improve you MINI Cooper's handling and some that are for straightaway speed. There are only a few performance products that you can add to your MINI that are focused on you, the driver, and your interaction with your Cooper, this is one of those products.
The Adjustable Shifter from Craven Speed is the only short shifter that gives you the option to set and re-set the shift length and height at any time.
In a quick sprint, the less time you are on the clutch means more time on the gas.
A short shifter is the only addition that will get you off the left pedal and onto the right. The thing is... you drive your car everyday, and you don't race everywhere you go. Having a shifter set to 50% of the stock throw will get you through the quarter mile quicker, but it will also be harder on you and your MINI.
Shortshifters take away the leverage the factory gave you in exchange for quicker, and more precise movements. Traffic is already the bane of standard transmission drivers; requiring extra leverage for every shift only makes it worse.
With the Craven Speed Adjustable shifter you don't have to live with the disadvantages that accompany other short shifters; you set it where you want, when you want, without tools. Hybrid designed and CNC machined from 1144 "Stresspruf" black oxided steel and 6061 Aluminum; it is virtually unbreakable and infinitely adjustable from factory length to 200% shorter. With with our unique design, you cannot over adjust. The Craven Speed Shifter has a built in high and low stops so you don't even need to look to adjust it!
Select a shift well cover upgrade, we will include our unique Speed Wrench to keep in the car or on your keys. It fits the flats on the adjustment collar perfectly so you can loosen it up if it gets too tight, or tighten it down when you find your happy place.
The MINI stock knob fits perfectly with the INCLUDED knob adapter (at right). This adapter will also allow you to fit the uber popular Whalen Shift Machine. Without the adapter installed, the Craven Speed Short Shifter will also accept most aftermarket knobs. Many use the same standard; M12 x 1.25 thread as our available shift knob.
