Late Gearshift Coupling - T1, KG, T3 (1964-79), Baywindow Bus - Top Quality

This heavy-duty gear shifter coupling is a top-quality replacement part designed to fit Volkswagen Beetles, Karmann Ghias, and Type 3 models from 1965 onwards, as well as Baywindow Buses (T2, 1968–1979) and VW Trekkers.

The gear shifter coupling connects the gearbox nose cone to the shift rod, transmitting movement from the gear lever to the transmission. Over time, the original rubber bushings can wear or degrade, causing sloppy gear changes, excessive play in the gearstick, or difficulty engaging gears.

This upgraded heavy-duty version features stronger construction and improved bush materials to ensure precise gear selection and longer service life. It’s designed as a direct-fit replacement for the factory coupling and installs easily with standard tools.

Ideal for both daily drivers and performance applications, this coupling restores crisp, accurate shifting and eliminates excessive play in the linkage — an essential upgrade for any aircooled VW.
