VW Bushing

Custom Delrin^® VW Shift Rod Bushing

This is a custom **Delrin^® bushing that is guaranteed for as long as you own your vehicle.

No other bushing is guaranteed for as long as you own your car.

Easier to install the shift rod with this bushing than a stock bushing.

Fast easy shifting.

The original nylon bushings are time bombs.

Once they fail, shifting is sloppy and difficult.

Repair the problem once and forever.

Installed without grease, so it is not a greasy mess to install like the stock bushing.

Please read the Important Information notice below carefully, prior to ordering.

***Important Information Please Read

This is a custom **Delrin^® bushing that is guaranteed for as long as you own your vehicle.

The Custom Shift Rod Bushing only fits on the following vehicles:
1)  Vehicles using a stock nylon bushing, part #111701259A
2)  Vehicles using a stock 22 mm shift rod.
3)  Vehicles using a straight shift rod.

*VW is famous for inconsistency in its model year variations.
Add that to the fact that most VW’s have been modified a time or two in the last forty plus years, and it’s hard to say
what will fit by year alone.
For instance, pre-1960 did not use a bushing at all.  But many have been upgraded over the years.
That is why we have to specify compatibility by more than just the model year.

If your vehicle currently uses a stock nylon bushing, part #111701259A, and has a stock 22mm straight
shift rod, then our bushing should work on your vehicle.
Please make sure your shift rod is clean and round, not oval or bent out of shape.

The bushing is a clearance fit, and the shift rod should slide through without being forced.  Forcing the shift rod through the Bushing voids the guarantee.
Please Note:
EV4U is not responsible for any damages (to the bushing or
the vehicle) if you attempt to install the bushing in a vehicle
or on a shift rod that is not compatible as described above.

Please do not attempt to install this bushing unless you
have the mechanical aptitude to do this type of work.
Damaged bushings are not returnable.

This is a custom **Delrin^® bushing that is guaranteed for as long as you own your vehicle.

The Delrin^® bushing replaces the bronze bushing that we sold for many years. We believe it is a superior product and offer the exact same guarantee.

Guarantee

*If the Bushing fails at anytime while the original purchaser owns the vehicle that the bushing is initially installed in,
EV4U will replace the bushing or refund the original purchase price.  Off-road use voids guarantee. Bushings must be installed without grease or any other lubrication. Be installed on straight 22 mm shift rod. Bushing to be replaced must be returned to EV4U in order to be replaced under this guarantee. *Delrin^® is a registered trademark of DuPont de Nemours, Inc. Delrin^® acetal homopolymer (Polyoxymethylene POM) is the ideal material in parts designed to replace metal. It combines low-friction and high-wear resistance with the high strength and stiffness. Compared to acetal copolymer, Delrin^® acetal homopolymer offers higher tensile strength, stiffness, creep and fatigue resistance, and significantly higher impact resistance.

Testimonials

I just had a chance to install the custom bronze shift rod bushing with the toolkit that you also
supplied.  Despite the excellent videos I must say I was daunted… but it turns out that I did
not have reason to be.  The process to disassemble and reassemble (shift rod, rear coupler,
etc.) took far more time than the actual installation of your part.  I have it all back together
now and the car is shifting beautifully with the lovely ‘click click’ you should expect.  Thank
you for such a quality product, well designed, engineered and with utterly flawless
instructions. Fast and cheap shipping to the other side of the world too!  I would recommend
this to anyone.

Best regards

“I used your bushing for a 67 Beetle and WOW what a great solution. Thank You Very Much for  engineering and manufacturing such a great fix.” Clyde

“I installed the bushing this weekend and it works great.
What an unbelievable product.
Every Bug and Ghia alive should have this upgrade.”

Put the bushing in my 72 Bug. Never realized it would ever shift like that. Good product! Steve in Kansas

From Samba Forum: “I put the bushing in my 1972 Bug. Wasn’t the easiest thing to do but it does shift quieter. Shifts better than new. Putting shifter back in was very easy to get it to shift, to hit all 4 gears and reverse. Best aftermarket thing I put in my car!”
