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

This heavy-duty clutch operating cross shaft repair kit is designed to provide a stronger, longer-lasting solution for worn clutch mechanisms on aircooled VW models. Featuring upgraded bronze bushes, this kit offers improved durability and smoother operation compared to standard replacements.

Designed for 16mm diameter cross shafts with a 14mm bush ID, this kit replaces worn or degraded components that can cause stiff clutch action, excessive play, or poor engagement. The bronze bush upgrade provides superior wear resistance and better support under load, making it ideal for both standard and performance applications.

The clutch cross shaft transfers movement from the clutch cable to the release bearing inside the gearbox. If the bush wears, the shaft can become misaligned, leading to increased pedal effort and uneven clutch operation. This heavy-duty kit restores proper alignment and ensures consistent, smooth clutch function.

Supplied with a new clutch return spring and fitting hardware, this kit is perfect for gearbox rebuilds, clutch replacements, or preventative maintenance. The bronze bush design is particularly beneficial for vehicles subjected to higher loads or frequent use.
