EMPI Billet Plus Performance Shifter — VW Type 2 Split Window Bus (24 1/4" Tall)
Revolutionize the shifting feel of your early Bus with the Billet Plus Aluminum Performance Shifter. Standing a commanding 24 1/4" tall, it is engineered for the unique ergonomics 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.
This shifter replaces the notoriously long, vague factory throw with a crisp, notched feel. A heavy-duty chromed shaft paired with a specialized Poly Resin Bushing eliminates the common "slop" in the linkage, while the integrated Left-Hand Lock-Out Button and included heavy-duty lockout plate provide a mechanical safety so you never accidentally engage reverse.
