Baywindow Bus Automatic Gear Shifter Sensor - 1972-79

This automatic gear shifter sensor is a direct replacement component for Volkswagen Baywindow Buses fitted with automatic transmissions from August 1971 onwards. Located underneath the automatic gear stick, this sensor plays a critical role in the correct operation of the transmission and associated safety systems, ensuring accurate gear position recognition.

Over time, worn or faulty shifter sensors can cause issues such as incorrect gear indication, starting problems, or inconsistent transmission behaviour. Replacing the sensor restores proper communication between the gear selector and the vehicle’s electrical system, helping ensure smooth, reliable operation of the automatic gearbox.

Manufactured to meet original specifications, this sensor fits neatly into the factory location beneath the shifter assembly and is ideal for repairs, restorations, or troubleshooting automatic transmission faults on late Baywindow models.

Fitment:

• VW Baywindow Bus Automatic models only

• Model years 08/1971–1979

• Mounts under the automatic gear stick
