Washburn's Metal - VW Delrin® Shift Rod Bushing - Each

  • Made in the USA
  • CNC milled from Virginia Delrin homopolymer
  • 1960-1977 Beetle
  • 1971-1979 Super Beetle
  • 1960-1974 Karmann Ghia
  • 1955-1966 Type 2
  • 1962-1973 Type 3
  • 1973-1974 Thing

The Washburn Delrin shift rod bushing is a durable and long lasting upgrade over the stock plastic unit. The bushing is easy to install, snapping into place without the need for a separate shift rod bushing clip. The Delrin bushing will help eliminate slop and loose shifters by securely holding the shift rod in place in the tunnel. The Washburn shift rod bushing fits 1960 through 1977 Standard Beetles, 1971 through 1979 Super Beetles, 1960 through 1974 Karmann Ghias, 1955 through 1966 Type 2 Bus models, 1962 through 1973 Type 3s and 1973 through 1974 Things.

1959 and earlier Beetles and Karmann Ghias did not originally use a shift rod bushing, the original shift rod hanger had a rolled edge. A later model replacement shift rod hanger can be installed if you want to upgrade your early model VW. The same hanger should be installed if the new Washburn bushing wiggles in your current unit as it has been worn out.

Washburn's Delrin Shift Rod Bushing installation instructions:

  • Remove the shifter from the tunnel
  • Disconnect the shift rod from the shift coupler
  • Remove the shiftrod, the old bushing and clip
  • Clean the shift rod and make sure the area where the bushing sits is smooth
  • Install the new bushing (slotted area facing up, smaller diameter points to the rear)
  • Press in until the face sits flush with the hanger (you should hear two "snaps")
  • Lubricate the bushing with dry graphite to ensure smooth operation
  • Reinstall the shift rod and reconnect it to the shift coupler
  • Reinstall the shifter and enjoy smooth, slop free shifting
