MINI Convertible R52 2004–2008 Manual Gearbox Short Shifter Kit
A good gear change is about precision rather than effort. This short-shifter is designed around MINI One / Cooper / Cooper S (R50/R52/R53/R56/R57/R58) — 04-14, reducing lever movement and giving the change a more direct mechanical feel.
Key features
- Application: MINI One / Cooper / Cooper S (R50/R52/R53/R56/R57/R58) — 04-14
- Product type: Short Shifter
- Thread specification: M14 x 1.5
- Measured maximum metal OD within the first 35 mm immediately below the threaded section: 17.28 mm

Design details
The catalogue thread specification is M14 x 1.5. A physical production sample measured on 2026-09-15 showed a maximum metal outside diameter of 17.28 mm within the first 35 mm immediately below the threaded section. This is a measured sample dimension rather than a nominal drawing tolerance.
On the car
Once correctly installed, the shorter lever movement gives each gear change a quicker, more positive feel without relying on an unusually heavy action.
