16mm Clutch Cross Shaft Bush Kit - T1, KG, T3 (1960-72) + T2 (1960-75)

This clutch operating cross shaft repair kit provides everything needed to restore smooth and reliable clutch operation on aircooled VW models. Designed for 16mm diameter cross shafts with a 14mm bush ID, this kit replaces worn bushes and associated hardware that commonly cause stiff, inconsistent, or noisy clutch action.

The clutch cross shaft sits within the gearbox bellhousing and transfers movement from the clutch cable to the release bearing. Over time, the bushings wear, leading to excess play, poor alignment, and increased pedal effort. This repair kit restores correct shaft support and alignment, ensuring smoother clutch engagement and improved pedal feel.

Supplied with a new clutch return spring, the kit ensures the release mechanism returns correctly after each clutch operation—essential for proper function and longevity of the clutch components.

Ideal for gearbox servicing or clutch replacement jobs, this kit helps prevent premature wear of the release bearing and pressure plate by ensuring correct operation of the clutch mechanism.
