1950-1979 VW EMPI Trigger Shifter

Give your VW a quicker, more confident feel every time you grab the next gear with EMPI's Classic Trigger Shifter. Replacing the factory shift lever, this performance shifter shortens shift throw by as much as 40 percent for faster, more precise gear changes without losing the simple mechanical feel that makes these cars so much fun to drive. The sliding trigger operates the mechanical reverse lock-out, requiring you to pull up on the trigger before selecting reverse to help prevent an accidental mis-shift. A round chrome shaft, black shift knob, and EMPI logo cast right into the trigger give it the classic performance look that's been at home in modified Volkswagens for decades.
