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 grey 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.
