Description
If your VW shifter feels loose, vague, or sloppy, this is one of the biggest improvements you can make.
This Delrin shift rod bushing from Washburn’s Metal replaces the weak factory-style plastic unit with a precision CNC-machined upgrade. The tighter tolerance and material strength keep the shift rod properly supported, giving you a much more direct, positive shift feel.
No more hunting for gears. No more slop in the linkage.
Made from virgin Delrin homopolymer, this bushing is designed to hold its shape and performance long-term without swelling, softening, or wearing out like standard aftermarket bushings.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the integrated snap-lock design. No clips, no guesswork, just snap it into place and go.
Key Features:
- CNC machined from high-strength Delrin
- Eliminates shifter slop and play
- Snap-lock design, no retaining clip needed
- Long-lasting performance vs OEM plastic
- Made in the USA
Fitment:
- Beetle 1960–1979
- Karmann Ghia 1960–1974
- Bus 1950–1966
- Type 3 1962–1973
- Thing 1973–1974
Why It Matters:
Factory-style bushings wear out quickly and create that “mushy” shifting feel most air-cooled VWs end up with. This upgrade keeps everything tight, aligned, and consistent so the transmission does what it’s supposed to do.
