Does any1 have any recommendation on who can fit short shift kit in Melbourne?

Hey M8, just to let you know, I've got a B&M SS kit and it does'nt exactly fit properly. It takes a bit of cutting to make it fit. Part of the plastic plate needs to be cut to fit the movement in.
If its one of those adaptors then I think they're very easy to fit without any probs. It is a really worthwhile mod to do as it propells the car faster. If you're after the B&M contact Rocket industries for a good price as they distribute them.

Faster acceleration through the gears due to less shift gap, did'nt mean any HP or torque differences

edit: Stu, I noticed you've got Willans harnesses in your sig pic. Do you have the steel or the aluminium version?

StuJones · Mar 1st, 2005, 02:13 AM

Maybe try McDonalds Bros Racing in Settlement Road Thomastown... they do mods to all sorts of cars (mainly street machines) Im sure they could handle a MINI with a B&M short shift kit.

http://www.mcdonaldbrosracing.com.au/ - Call them, rather than email - you get a quicker response.
