Refunds

Products returned to us in imperfect, non-resalable condition will not qualify for a refund. Products that are faulty due to the manufacturing process are refundable under the manufacturer's warranty for a limited time specified in the manufacturer's terms and conditions. These do not apply if the product has been fitted incorrectly or misused, motorsport use could further reduce the manufacturer's warranty.

If an order is cancelled or refunded the buyer is responsible for the return of the goods to such address as directed by the supplier and is at the consumer's sole expense. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Description


The Helix Short Shift conversion unit is a precision machined piece that installs in place of the existing OEM part. The Short Shift component allows for a simpler solution to reducing throw of the shifter, rather than replacing the complete shifter unit, as some other solutions require.

What's in The Box

Fitting Details


Lohen offers in house fitting for all products at our workshop in Eccleshall, Staffordshire. Here are the important things you need to know:

Fitting Cost - £135

Fitting Time - Approximately 1 - 2 Hours

Required Additional Items/Services - No required additional items or serviced needed for this product.

Lohen Recommends - To fit the exhaust needs to be removed, you may require exhaust clamps, centre exhaust rubbers if the originals are not in good enough condition to be re-fitted. Also consider gear cable clips as these can be tricky to remove in one piece on older cars.  

FAQ's

I'm not sure which short shift unit is for my car? 

Choose 02-03 MINI if you have the gray retaining clip, all other MINIs have a white retaining clip and use the later model of adapter. If you have an 03 or 04 model here's how to check the retaining clip: carefully pull the plastic ring (the bezel) at the bottom of the shifter boot straight up. It will pop off the console to expose four plastic tabs around the perimeter. Look below the bezel at the plastic housing that holds the shifter rod in place with a ball socket. On an '02 or '03, much of the plastic linkage will be white but right where the metal shaft and ball enter the linkage, the plastic will be grey. In the '04 models, the housing will be grey and the ball socket will be white.
