Rod Gearchange
Introduced for 1973 on Mini Saloons and Estates and for 1976 on Vans and Pick Ups, the rod change
system was simpler (kept the production engineers happy) and therefore cheaper (happy accountants),
more robust (happy owners) and easier to use (ditto) than the previous choice of direct or remote
gearchange. The ‘modified Mini’ frater nity mourned the loss of positive location offered by the outgoing
remote system’s beefy casting, but soon welcomed the extra space inside the gearbox case which just
about allowed the dream of a five speed Mini gearbox conversion to become reality.
The success of the rod change gearbox led to it being used virtually without modification for the last
27 years of the Mini’s 41 year production life.

Selector shaft oil seal failure was always a problem on rod gearchange Minis (as any late-model Mini
owner with oil drips on their garage floor will know). The most common remedy effected by owners in
the past was to put two oil seals one behind the other on the selector shaft (there’s just enough space
to do so), the outer one of the two acting both as a secondary seal and also as a secondary shield
behind the gaiter, protecting the inner seal from under-body muck and grit. Most importantly, the
second seal helped to support the selector shaft and hold it in alignment in the gearbox casing.
Factory engineers finally came up with a remedy in 1985, fitting a modified selector shaft bush with a
new O ring to improve the selector shaft alignment. Somerford Mini of course supply all these
parts separately, but we’ve also put them together as an easy-to-buy, easy-to-fit kit for the
owner to modify a pre-1985 Mini or repair a later model.

Between 1985 and 1992, Minis bound for Germany were equipped with a vacuum advance cut-out
solenoid, operated by a switch on the gearchange. This naturally necessitated the use of several modified
or new gearchange components. Only those that differ from standard are listed below:

Rod Gearchange Quickshift Kit
Available as an easy-to-fit conversion for all rod change Minis, the quickshift drastically cuts the truck-lik e
distance between gears , making gearchanges a fast, efficient pleasure instead of a work-out for your arm!
Engineered with great integrity by Kent Auto Developments, the kit includes a new, chromed gear lever
and bush, plus a revised retainer assembly.
