I swear i should have not bought a mini!! I love driving it but it is hard work working on him. I am trying to fit my quick shift that i bought at the weekend. i was just wandering if anyone else has ever fitted one and if so how you got the old locating pins out (the ones which secure the gear stick in place) i cant for the ife of my get them out of mine and i was wandering if there is a knack to it or if mine are just stuck!!! I have checked the manual and it doesn't say in there. No doubt solving this problem will only lead me on to 10 others!!  Cheers! |

They seek him here. They seek him there, ND mini owners seek him everywhere. They ask him this and they ask him that. But don't for get to drop a penny in the old mans hat |

 Is that a yes? Tried to ring him earlier but he's very elusive!! Poor Mabel's window channel's rusted and fallen off. Have had a look but it's all looking a bit beyond me!! Do you think that mini man might be able to sort it out if I dropped some pennies in his hat then!!!  |

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!  |

I fitted a cheap quick sift to my mini with I five speed box and had loads of trouble with it it actual came out of the housing while I was changing gear. I fitted a KAD one soon after and it's great a bit notchy occasionally but that down to be a five speed bix. |
