Type 25 Shift Rod Ball And Cup - 1983-92

Replacement gear shift lever joint with ball for Volkswagen Type 25 / T3 manual transmission models from August 1982 onwards. This important linkage component is fitted to the side of the gearbox and plays a critical role in maintaining accurate and smooth gear selection.

The joint connects part of the external gear linkage mechanism to the gearbox selector system and allows precise movement of the gear selector during shifting. Over time the original joint can wear, develop excessive play or seize, resulting in vague gear changes, difficulty selecting gears, excessive shifter movement or poor shift quality.

Replacing worn gear linkage joints is one of the most effective ways to improve shifting feel on Type 25 models and restore crisp, accurate gear selection.

Manufactured as a direct replacement for the original component and suitable for manual transmission vehicles only.
