Shifter Refresh Bundle: Delrin Shift Bushing + King Billet Coupler (Early Style) | VW Pre-1965

Bringing an early Beetle, Bus, Ghia, or Type 3 back to life? Sloppy shifting is one of the first things to fix, and these are the two parts that do it. We bundled our best-selling shifter components together so you can knock out the whole job in one purchase — and save $10 doing it.

What's Included

• "The Original" Snap-Lock Delrin Shift Bushing (#CH01): Heavy-duty Delrin replaces the mushy factory rubber/plastic bushing. Snap-lock design installs without disassembly. Made in USA.
• King Performance Billet Shift Coupler, Early Style (#CH16): Machined 7075-T651 aluminum, hard black anodized, with a zinc-plated cone set screw and 8mm locking jet nuts. The precision replacement for the worn-out factory unit on pre-1965 chassis.

Vehicle Fitment
