Will this Shifter Elbow Rebuild Bundle fix my Vanagon's mushy or vague shifting?

Absolutely! This bundle is specifically designed to address those exact issues in 1983-1991 Watercooled Vanagons with 091 and 094 transaxles. Installing these parts will restore the crisp, precise shifting feel you expect.

What makes the Viton boots in this kit better than other rubber boots?

The Viton boots are made from a high-grade synthetic rubber known for withstanding extreme temperatures, chemicals, and wear better than standard rubber. This ensures they'll hold up longer and keep your shifter protecting boot functions intact over time.

Are the materials in this rebuild bundle durable enough for long-term use?

Yes, the kit includes a billet aluminum shifter elbow, stainless steel shift ball lever, and GoWesty's proprietary DuroGreen polymer parts, which match or exceed OEM-level durability. Many customers have praised the kit for bringing back smooth shifting that lasts for years.

Is there any guarantee or return policy if I'm not satisfied with the parts?

You're covered by a 10-year warranty on the parts, showing the confidence GoWesty has in their quality. Plus, there is a no-hassle return policy available within 6 months if you find the kit doesn't meet your expectations.

I'm new to Vanagon maintenance — will this kit be straightforward to install and improve my driving experience?

Yes! The parts in this bundle are designed to directly replace your worn components, making installation manageable for anyone comfortable with basic mechanical work. Once installed, you should notice a significant improvement in shifting smoothness and control, making your drives more enjoyable.

Does your Vanagon suffer from vague shifting? Fix that mushy shifter for good!

This kit includes the parts needed to fix that sloppy shifting once and for all. The most common culprit is the plastic ball, which tends to wear out over time. Get this exclusive GoWesty-designed kit, which features a brand-new hard plastic ball, a stainless steel shift ball lever, and a billet aluminum shifter elbow (that replaces the cast aluminum part) in addition to our DuroGreen Viton boots.*

Fits: This boot fits 1983-91 Watercooled Vanagon with the 091 (2WD) and 094 (4WD & 2WD 5-Speed) transaxles.

*Like most original Volkswagen rubber parts, these shift boots were very high-quality and lasted a long time. Unfortunately, most aftermarket reproduction boots lacked the durability of the originals, so we crafted our own out of superior Viton.
