Elevate your MINI driving experience with this essential Short Shift Kit that significantly enhances performance. However, many short shift kit upgrades necessitate leaving out the assembly box cover due to the extended ball linkage. Unfortunately, this leaves the assembly box internals exposed to external elements, resulting in dirt accumulation and increased interior air and noise pollution.

But fear not! NM has the solution: a modified OEM ABS cover equipped with a powder-coated aluminum 'hump.' This unique design effectively covers the cut-out, sealing the assembly box interior entirely. The kit comes complete with the blue cover and necessary hardware.

Enhance your BMW's performance with the Torque Solution Short Throw Shifter, a premium direct replacement for your stock unit. Crafted with precision using CNC'd stainless steel for corrosion resistance and strength, this shifter offers a 30% reduction in throw and a 2" height reduction, optimizing your driving experience. Specifically designed for the 2004 model year with a black shifter console, this shifter accommodates the OEM shift knob and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

Benefits:

• 30% reduction in throw for quicker shifts
• 2" height reduction for improved ergonomics
• Durable stainless steel construction
• Compatible with OEM shift knob

The factory dual-mass flywheel in MINI N14 and N18 engines is engineered for comfort, minimizing drivetrain vibrations and smoothing out gear transitions. However, that comfort comes at a price—28.3 lbs. of rotational mass that dulls throttle response, slows acceleration, and hampers precise rev-matching. Dual-mass flywheels are also notoriously prone to failure under high-performance or tuned driving conditions, and their replacement costs can be steep.

The ECS Performance Lightweight Flywheel Kit eliminates these compromises with a precision-engineered, single-mass flywheel that delivers true enthusiast-grade performance. Weighing in at just 18.8 lbs, this flywheel sheds nearly 10 lbs. of rotating mass compared to OEM—instantly sharpening throttle response, improving clutch feel, and delivering quicker acceleration that transforms the driving dynamics of your MINI.

Performance-Oriented Design: This flywheel is specifically engineered to work with OE and aftermarket unsprung clutch discs. While dual-mass setups provide damping on stock vehicles, switching to a single-mass flywheel with an unsprung disc introduces more direct engagement—ideal for spirited daily driving or track-ready builds. Expect a more aggressive, performance-focused clutch feel.

Key Features:

Lightweight Construction: Sheds nearly 10 lbs. of rotating mass for faster revs and improved acceleration

4140 Chromoly Steel: Heat-treated to HRC 28–32 for outstanding strength, wear resistance, and dimensional stability

Precision-Balanced: Exceeds OEM G16 specification (175 g-mm) for smooth, high-RPM operation

Black Oxide Coating: Offers corrosion resistance and a professional finish

OE-Compatible Fitment: Designed to work seamlessly with N14 architecture clutch kits

SFI 1.1 Certified: Proven safe and reliable under extreme operating conditions

Optimized Step Height: Ensures maximum clutch clamping force and long-term durability

Performance Gains:

OEM Dual-Mass Flywheel Weight: 28.3 lbs

ECS Single-Mass Flywheel Weight: 18.8 lbs
