B&M short shifter?
« on: 19 August 2009, 18:49 »
Has anyone fitted the above? I'm stumped as to how it all goes together at the mo, the fitting instructions on their website are total sh!te with blurry photos that really aren't helping...

that's sort of how far I've got Rich, just trying to work out how this reverse lock out operates, guess I'll have to wait until it's being fitted to find out lol

Cheers for the link though

Check out how bad these photos are http://www.bmracing.com/bmracing/installation_instruction/23.pdf

That doesn't look too bad, mate.  I think it'll be a hell of a lot more obvious when you're actually taking it all apart.  :afro:

(I've seen worse instructions than that, lol!).  :D

I think I've just had a eureka moment...

This shifter looks like it changes the reverse select from push down to pull up...

Still have doubts about short shifters - when I used to be mad into minis they were always a no no and I maintain that on EVERY car

you can retro-fit the short shifts from the MK1 Audi TT - not a great reduction in throw but it retains all the OEM functionality  :smiley:

they're about £25

why do you say that mate? This one replaces the whole gear lever and pivot rather than just shortening a standard lever like most do

My mate had one fitted to his mini - 6 months later a new gearbox was needed and it was always said by everyone that had a mini to stay away from them - may have changed now though
