When swapping out the stock shifter in your MINI for the Adjustable Short Shifter, it can be tricky to get the stock retaining clip out without breaking it. The stock clip is also very loose fitting which results in a lot of extra play in your shifter. If you've already done the work to get the shifter out, take the opportunity to improve on the retaining clip in a big way with our machined acetal retaining clip replacement.

Fits the following models with Manual Transmission:

2014-2019 F56 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Hardtop
2015-2019 F55 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Hardtop 4-Door
2016-2019 F57 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Convertible
2016-2019 F54 MINI Cooper and Cooper S Clubman

It will never break, and it will eliminate any play at the shifter main pivot. Even if you don't have our short shifter, you will notice a big difference in shifting if you upgrade to our retaining clip. Short shift kits normally have a set shift lever length with a fixed throw. With this kit, a unique tension collar allows you to vary the length of the shifter to suit YOUR driving style. It is Infinitely adjustable from factory length to 50% shorter. By simply loosening the tension collar, you can adjust the shifter length shorter or longer. Simply tighten the collar to set the new height.

NOTES:

• Compatible with the JCW models, but the JCW stock knob is currently incompatible
• No work under the car is necessary to install this part.

You should never expect anything else from us. We make our parts here in the USA, and we make them with care. Hybrid designed and CNC machined from Stainless Steel, and 6061 Aluminum; it is guaranteed to be unbreakable. Make the feel of each shift more crisp after you replace the rubber bushings with these perfectly machined replacements.

Although the shifter is prepared for aftermarket M12 x 1.25 threaded shift knobs, the MINI stock knob fits perfectly with the INCLUDED knob adapter. This adapter will also allow you to fit any BMW/MINI Shift Knob. 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. The shifter can be adjusted with the faux-leather boot in place, just feel the mechanism and twist. Of course, it is much easier with the Shift Well Covers.
