Short shift kit is one of the 'Must Haves' in improving your Mini motoring experience. Unfortunately, any short shift kit upgrades do not allow anyone to retain the assembly box cover due to the extended ball linkage sitting below the cover line. Most leave the cover out completely and some made a cut out just big enough so the linkage can move freely. Either way, the mechanical parts inside the assembly box are exposed to outside elements which can cause dirt/dust buildup as well as interior air and sound pollution.

This is NM's solution to the problem. We modify OEM's ABS cover and add a powder-coated aluminum 'hump' over it to cover the cut out sealing the entire inside of the assembly box.

Sold complete with modified OEM cover.
