This replacement linkage pin is designed for the universal joint located in the middle of the gear linkage on all VW Type 25 (T3) Buses with 4-speed and 5-speed gearboxes from 1983 onwards.
The universal joint allows the long gear linkage rod to flex and articulate between the gear lever and the gearbox. These small pins are critical for holding the joint together and ensuring precise gear selection. Over time, they often wear or work loose, causing sloppy shifting or difficulty engaging gears.
Manufactured as a good quality reproduction, this pin restores proper function and crisp shifting feel.

OE-style dimensions for a perfect fit
