EMPI Billet Plus Performance Shifter – Split Window Bus RHD, 24 1/4" Tall (00-9151-0)
Revolutionize the shifting feel of your early Right-Hand Drive Bus with the Billet Plus Aluminum Performance Shifter. Standing at a commanding 24 1/4" tall, this shifter is engineered for the unique ergonomics and cabin layout of the 1960–1965 Split Window Bus. Fully machined from premium billet aluminum, the handle and base feature a custom anodized finish with contrast-cut highlights and a precision-engraved EMPI logo.
It replaces the notoriously long, vague "rowboat" factory throw with a crisp, notched feel. A heavy-duty chromed shaft and a specialized Poly Resin Bushing eliminate the common flex and slop in the linkage, while an integrated Right-Hand Lock-Out Button and heavy-duty lockout plate provide a mechanical safety so you never accidentally engage reverse during gear changes.
