Removal and installation is a hand-tool job: lift the boot, unbolt the base plate, lift the old lever out with its spring and stop plate, drop the new shifter in and bolt back down. Because the plate is already off, this is the sensible time to replace the \u003cb\u003eshifter bushing\u003c\/b\u003e, the \u003cb\u003ebase plate gasket\u003c\/b\u003e and — if the shift feel has been getting worse for years — the \u003cb\u003eshift coupler\u003c\/b\u003e at the transmission. On a Bus in particular, the long linkage means the coupler and rod bushings account for most of the slop; a new lever alone will not tighten those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhy can't I use a Beetle trigger shifter in my Bus?\u003c\/b\u003e Two reasons: length and geometry. The Bus shifter tower sits far behind the driver, so a 12\" or 13.5\" Type 1 shifter would leave the knob down near the floor and well out of reach. The Bus shifter also has a different bend and base to suit the Bus tunnel. 23.5\" is the correct Bus length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWill this fit a Split-Window Bus as well as a Bay Window?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes — EMPI lists 1960–1979 Type 2, which covers late Split-Window, Early Bay and Late Bay Buses with a manual gearbox. It is not for the Auto-Stick, which uses a different shifter with vacuum clutch actuation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMy Bus shifter is vague and sloppy. Will this fix it?\u003c\/b\u003e Partly, and you should know the whole picture before you order. Bus shift slop is a system: the shifter itself, the nylon bushing in the shifter base, the long shift rod and its bushings, and the shift coupler at the transmission. A new shifter fixes the lever end. If the vagueness has been getting steadily worse over years, budget for a coupler and bushing set at the same time — it is the same job.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDoes it come with a knob?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes, a round black knob is included and installed, with the EMPI logo cast into the trigger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eIs there a fancier version for a show Bus?\u003c\/b\u003e Yes — 00-4473-2 is the same 23.5\" Bus shifter in copper plating with a rosewood knob.
