Oh dear. I spent almost all after noon trying to fi my quick/short shift. Basically i came to one fundemntal conclusion. It is not worth buying cheap parts for the mini. The shifter is a copy of a KAD and from todays expereince i would say that it is a pretty poor copy! I bought a few bits from midland wheels at the show at the weekend, they were are really cheap ( which i thought was because it was a show) but so far all of the bits i have fitted have been c**p qaulity.
You live and learn!
