In this video, I install a few new car parts for Layla. She got some new toys from CravenSpeed and I go ahead and install them all. In the previous video regarding the Mini, we stripped out most of the interior and it set us up so we could have access to the shifter.

This install for the Mini is the most difficult style short throw shifter to install, so if you thought this wasn’t too bad, than any other short shifter will be easy to install.
As for the shift well cover, it cleans up the look of the shifter and gives it a very distinct look. It works with the regular shifter as well, so if you just want to do a shift boot delete, this is your go to. With it paired with the short throw shifter, you can adjust the throw of the shifter within 2 seconds.
If you're looking for some help from CravenSpeed regarding any of their products, by all means send them an email and they'd be more than happy to help. Kellen was extremely helpful during my process, and his team is just as awesome!! Their email is: support@cravenspeed.com
If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email at milanmastracci@gmail.com. Thanks for watching!! :)

this is amazing finally someone who works on Minis and explains i full detail on how to install new parts I have been looking for this for such a long time. I hope you continue with this because when i get the cash im going to mod my mini and these videos will be s useful for me:)

@milanmastracci 7 лет назад

I'm glad ya like it man :) I feel it will make other people's lives a lot easier if they try to install one for themselves!!

@damonveldink3775 2 года назад

Did you do it ??

@icebrew Год назад

yeah, even today the mini cooper community isn't very tech-savvy, The only info on these cars seem to be on forums from the early 2000s. If you have a non-S you might as well give up looking for information or guides and just start taking things apart.

@voidwalkerentertainment963 4 месяца назад

You have done a better job teaching than my diesel tech instructor in school. 👏

@russlundberg9744 6 лет назад

I'm glad you mentioned that the shift knob increases shift throw. With a tall one like that, the throw at "Aftermarket" is close to the factory at the top of the knob.

I cant wait for the mini to be done!

Screwing with that white plastic piece would have been a week for me. I would have been pissed at the end of it and just stop the process. Good video man!

@ronabbott2053 2 года назад

your video is quite professional easy to understand and not overly long, thanks!

@148tools 4 года назад

A really well done video. Explained everything in a very thorough manner without skipping any steps. One tiny suggestion would be to explain that when replacing the rubber bushings with the aluminum bushings it can result in some additional transmission noise in the cockpit and some additional vibration in the shifter. For some this might influence their decision to use the aluminum bushings or not. Otherwise a terrific video, Great job!

@kategordon539 5 лет назад

HOLD UP! I've got a super important question here! Essentially, are you sure those steps are essential?! Haha. I'm just messing with you! I love your videos as well as the extreme over use of the word "essentially" - it makes my day everytime I watch! Puts a little laughter into every pain in the ass repair or upgrade that I do! Keep doing you love! You're absolutely phenomenal! 😊👍

Thank you for showing the craven speed shift well cover. I just got mine in the mail today

@jafxdwg 7 лет назад

When I started watching, I was expecting a quick and easy upgrade. In the end it looked like this mod was anything but easy to save an 1.5 " shifter throw. Dropping the exhaust and heat shield to facilitate an install just begs foe additional aggravation and expense. A couple of observations: 1 - Anyone who has lubricated clutch and throttle cables on a motorcycle often use an oiler tool and cable specific lube. I'm thinking that would be superior to just lubing the first inch or so of cable. 2 - An adjustable vs just a shortened throw shifter. Once you get used to short throw shifts I expect that (unless you need the leverage) you will settle in for the shortest length and leave it there. All I could think, after seeing how involved this install became, that an hour with an angle grinder, and maybe some finish work with a file, emery cloth and a threading die and you would have a shortened shifter without any expense or surprises. just sayin'

@johndelpozzo8402 7 лет назад

LMAO. You said the word "essentially" like eleven times during the video. Don't be mad, just bustin' balls. Great video. Keep it up.

Why don't you 3D print a replica of the shifter cassette cover just in height for the short throw adjusted shifter?

You can use paper clips to hold the plastic clips in and removed the shifter

@pvalle180 7 лет назад

Craven should provide the green oring and the secure tab reused in the fork to get into reverse. Just my thought

@atraxr603 7 лет назад

Btw, originally what manufacturer used was lithium grease not silicon paste. You use lithium grease when you're lubricating plastic. Just so you know for next time.

@milanmastracci 7 лет назад

Yeah I know :D I have some lithium grease but it wasn't the paste style. I'll be picking some up soon though :D

@atraxr603 7 лет назад

That's cool. Silicon grease won't hurt it, it just won't last as long. So are you planning to leave the cassette open? If so I would rather get a smaller shift knob so you can leave the cassette cover closed and still have pretty much same throw. :) Good luck!

@juanignaciox_ 7 лет назад

Cool name for the car!! Good luck grates from Argentina

@harrvey 7 лет назад

Why did you remove the entire shifter assembly? Couldn't you install the short shifter from the interior of the car (with the exception of the "replacement bolts")? I've never heard of being required to remove the exhaust just to upgrade the shifter.

@stephanegregoire8738 3 года назад

The take-away is sawing the shifter by 2" and replace the rubbers with metal packers to reduce the lag, no need for bling stuffs

@1061shrink1061 3 года назад

except sawing the shifter doesn't change the leverage point under the car. I feel you may have missed the point of how this works. Simply loweing the gear lever doesnt make it a shorter shifter.

@stephanegregoire8738 3 года назад

@@1061shrink1061 It absolutely does: shortening the shifter reduces the throw which is the whole point of a short shifter. Simples. The rest is all marketing cock&bull

@1061shrink1061 3 года назад

@@stephanegregoire8738 when you drop the adjustment, you're lowering the underneath of the shifter.. NOT just the top. if you just shorten the top part, yes you'll shorten the throw, but minimally. It's the change of the pivot length under the car that makes the biggest difference. You're either trolling me, or legitimately don't understand how this shifter works.

@lancercool1992 4 года назад

Every manual car should come with a shifter with a reasonably shift travel. Mini has UNREASONABLY LONG shift travels like they thought it was a good idea. I don't even understand why long throw shifters get developed, costs are the same from what I can think, is there ANY advantage in designing a car with long shift throw than shorter shift throw?

@kadabarnking3693 7 лет назад

Is this the same process for an r50 mini?

@milanmastracci 7 лет назад

Sure is!! You need to drop the exhaust to get access to the bottom side of the shifter
