Gear Shift Lever (Heavy-Duty) [Late Vanagon]

The original VW-designed gear shift lever was a solid performer, but after decades of reliable service we are seeing a significant number of catastrophic failures. There are few things quite like a broken shift lever to spoil your weekend away, so we set about to produce a smart and durable replacement. Our design addresses the inherent weaknesses of the original design while simultaneously incorporating some very clever updates. Features: Solid steel instead of hollow. No more breaking! The lower cross-bolt, spot-welded tube is replaced with a CNC bearing block made of black anodized aluminum, complete with grease fitting. No more plastic bushings! Machined dimples for the spring stop collar. The lower dimple for standard shifting, and the upper for short shift kits. Ideally paired with ourSwift Shift kit, or use a different brand without having to drill. No drilling? Yee-haw! Finished in black electrophoretic plating. Sleek and durable!

Fits: All 1984-91 Vanagon manual transaxle except for factory 2WD 5-speed All 1986-91 Syncro 4WDNote for 1980-84 vans: Early Vanagon models typically have a 12mm shift lever. If you have an early van, you will need to update to a late-style shifter system to use this shift lever.Thisshift lever is way smarter, less than half the price of what some competitors get for a copy of the original design, and is a direct-fit. No modifications needed to your Vanagon. Whats not to like?!
