Refined custom shift knobs
Perfect ergonomics with advanced technology
Technology doesn’t stop at the very top of the short shifter. The shift knob is available in different colours, and in two different styles - regular or bulb style. Both forms can be crafted from thermoplastic too, ensuring the perfect ergonomics. However, combined with the Thermo Guard technology, it will make you forget these burning-hot or sticky-cold levers, as this knob is resistant to heat and cold.
CNC machined, hand-assembled in Lithuania
Designed and manufactured by a team of passionate engineers
The product’s quality delivers on its promise. Coolerworx short shifters are precisely designed and developed for different OEM applications by a team of skilled engineers. All shifter models stood the test of talented racing drivers in different racing disciplines worldwide.
Naked Style
Match your car’s interior with the best suitable short-throw shifter
Different car owners have different tastes, obviously. Someone may absolutely adore the pure motorsports-like short shifter. They love it simple and not too shouty. Others, meanwhile, love aftermarket carbon parts.<br><br> This option may resemble the pure racing pedigree and remind you of all these racing cars you have seen in videos. The raw and mechanical-looking Naked shifter version seems like it was just picked from the CNC machine. Despite the unpainted finish, it has a perfect look.
▲ Description
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.
Keep your cupholders Retain full collar button functionality Enjoy race-ready performance with OEM fitment 100% reversable to standard
What Makes It Special:
• Completely new shifter frame
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.
• Softer self-centering spring
Delivers improved balance for smoother gear alignment and faster return to center.
• Exposed-style shifter body
No trim cover required.
• Truly reversible
Can be removed and restored to original factory condition without leaving any trace or cut plastics.
• Manufactured 100% in-house
Designed, prototyped, and built entirely by Coolerworx in Lithuania, the motherland of shaltibarschiai (pink soup).
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.
Style & Attention:
Whether you’re at a local meet or trackside, this shifter commands attention. It’s bold, functional, and guaranteed to be the conversation starter in your cabin.
