1962-1979 Rear Shift Coupler - Urethane

Take 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.
