The First Drop-In Short Shifter for the F-Series MINI

Meet the latest creation from the Coolerworx workshop – a reimagined short shifter engineered specifically for MINI F-series models. Born from two years of continuous R&D and driven by our deep passion for MINI performance. This shifter is a true evolution of our legacy – a legacy that started with one of our very first and best-selling short shifters for MINI.
Over the past 8 years:
From MINI Challenge race cars to show-ready builds, Our shifters have earned their place in the MINI community, becoming a go-to choice for enthusiasts everywhere . However, installing them wasn’t always smooth. Until now.

The Challenge:
MINIs are, as the name suggests, compact. Especially the center console area, where cupholders and the rotary “collar button” add serious installation complexity. Fitting the short shifter often meant making modifications like cutting the interior trim or losing the "collar button" functionality.

The Breakthrough:
Thanks to the support and collaboration from our community and race drivers, we’ve made it happen.

Introducing the world’s first plug-and-play short shifter for F-series MINIs — no cutting, no trimming, no compromise.

Retain full collar button functionality

100% reversable to standard

What Makes It Special:

Custom-designed to fit perfectly under the factory console without any cutting or trimming.
• New handle and rocker arm
Developed using real feedback to provide a precise, mechanical shift feel.

Driving Feel:

This is not just an upgrade – it’s a total transformation of your MINI’s shifting experience. The new extended handle design ensures that your hand stays glued to the shift knob. Every shift is shorter, tighter, and more satisfying. Get ready for a tactile experience that feels straight out of a race car.
