Front Shift Rod Bushing (Vanagon) If your Vanagon’s shifter feels vague or loose, the culprit is often a worn-out front shift rod bushing. This Replacement Bushing is designed to r estore precision to your shifting mechanism. By supporting the front section of the long shift rod, this bushing eliminates excess play and vibration, providing a much firmer and more predictable gear engagement. Key Features: Precision Fit: Manufactured to original dimensions to ensure a smooth, snug fit around the shift rod. Durable Polymer: Constructed from high-density material designed to resist heat, grease, and the constant friction of shifting. Direct Replacement: A straightforward swap for the factory unit located at the front of the shift linkage system. Restored Feel: Eliminates the "hunting for gears" sensation common in older Vanagons with degraded original bushings.

While you have the shift rod disconnected to install this front bushing, we highly recommend inspecting the rear linkage bushings and the shifter base "onion" for wear. Always apply a high-quality synthetic grease to the inner diameter of the bushing during installation to ensure smooth, quiet operation. 251711207E JP-1584-0 1131501400 711215001 Show more
