{"product_id":"1962-1979-rear-shift-coupler-urethane","title":"1962-1979 Rear Shift Coupler - Urethane","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTake the slop out of your VW’s shifter with a Urethane Shift Rod Coupler built to give you a tighter, more confident feel between gears. The shift rod coupler connects the shift rod to the transmission’s hockey stick, so any play in that connection can quickly turn into vague, sloppy shifting and make finding the right gear harder than it should be. This complete coupler uses durable urethane bushing pads in place of standard rubber, helping eliminate unwanted movement while providing greater strength and longer service life. If you suspect your old coupler is worn, grab the shift rod and hockey stick with two pairs of pliers and gently twist them. Any noticeable play is a good sign the coupling is ready for replacement. It’s a straightforward upgrade that helps put some precision back into the classic VW shifting experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFits 1964-1977 Standard Beetles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFits 1971-1979 Super Beetles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFits 1964-1974 Karmann Ghias\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFits 1973-1974 Things\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFits 1962-1973 Type 3s\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDirect replacement for VW number 311-798-211\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDurable urethane bushing pads outlast and outperform standard rubber\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelps eliminate sloppy, vague shifter movement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProvides a tighter, more precise feel between gears\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReplaces a worn or loose VW shift rod coupling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eComplete shift rod coupler\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in red only\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"EMPI Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67611470201044,"sku":"313516","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/1002\/1844\/files\/313516-_6.jpg?v=1790788043","url":"https:\/\/mamotorworks.com\/products\/1962-1979-rear-shift-coupler-urethane","provider":"Mid America Motorworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
