Product details
The early coupler connects the shift rod to the transaxle selector on early VW models. Its machined 6061-T6 aluminum body replaces the original-style coupling. Supplied grub screws secure the connection after alignment; check the rest of the shift linkage for wear and adjustment.

EMPI specifies Type 1 Beetle 1950–1964, Karmann Ghia 1956–1964, Type 2 Bus 1955–1967, and Type 3 1961–1964. Compare the installed rod and selector connection before ordering, particularly after a transmission swap. Verify that the linkage selects every gear without binding after assembly.
