The REVIN Short Shifter for MINI R5X models is designed for the driver who wants clarity, speed and a mechanical feel from their gear changes. This solution replaces the standard lever assembly and brings significantly more precise and consistent action to gear shifting – every shift feels controlled and intentional.
40% shorter gear range
The shift lever travel is reduced by up to 40% , making gear changes faster and reducing unnecessary hand movement. The end result is a more direct and precise gear shift feel, especially during active driving.
Self-centering spring mechanism
REVIN's self-centering spring automatically guides the shift lever back to the center position. This design reduces lateral movement of the shift lever and compensates for transmission wear by up to 95% , maintaining precise and consistent shift feel over the long term.
435 mm height from the tunnel
The gear knob is positioned 435 mm above the gearshift tunnel , bringing the gear lever closer to the steering wheel. This improves ergonomics and reduces reaction times as the hand remains naturally close to the steering wheel.
Chassis mounted construction
Unlike the original shifter, which is often mounted directly to the transmission, the REVIN Short Shifter utilizes a chassis mounted design. This reduces flex and increases stiffness, resulting in more precise and crisp gear selections.
Gear Lockout
The included locking mechanism prevents incorrect gear selections. Reverse, 5th and 6th gears only engage when the lock is activated by lifting the collar under the gear knob. This increases confidence both on the street and in more demanding driving.
Customizable appearance
The gear lever has an M12x1.5 thread , so you can use the original gear knob or install any aftermarket knob to suit your style.
Easy installation under OEM plastics
Designed to be installed under the original interior plastics , with no or minimal modification required.
Durable and finished construction
Made from aircraft-grade 6082 aluminum and high-quality stainless steel components, the construction is designed to withstand heavy use and provide a reliable, mechanical feel for years to come.
