Will this Clutch Cross Shaft Bushing Kit fit my Bus or Vanagon, and how do I choose between the 14mm and 18mm kit?

This Clutch Cross Shaft Bushing Kit is designed for Volkswagen Bus (1972-1979) and Vanagon (1980-1991) models. To select the correct kit, check whether your clutch cross-shaft uses a 14mm or 18mm bolt, as they are not interchangeable. The product details provide clear guidelines on which years and models each kit will fit, so review that before ordering to ensure you get the right fit for your vehicle.

What makes this kit better than the original VW cross-shaft bushings?

Unlike the original VW bushings that are prone to premature wear and failure, the GoWesty Clutch Cross Shaft Bushing Kit is built for improved reliability and smoother clutch operation. It features upgraded materials and a design that eliminates the factory weak points, making it a popular upgrade among Bus and Vanagon owners looking for a long-lasting solution to clutch cross-shaft problems.

Is this kit easy to install, and do I need any special tools or experience?

Most DIYers with basic mechanical skills can install the Clutch Cross Shaft Bushing Kit using common hand tools. The kit includes everything needed for a standard replacement. For best results, follow the detailed instructions and plan for a few hours if it's your first time tackling a clutch cross-shaft job. GoWesty has a reputation for high-quality kits with proven track records, so you can feel confident about the reliability and ease of installation.

If you're doing a clutch job this weekend, adding this Clutch Cross-Shaft Bushing Kit to your cart makes a lot of sense. These parts tend to get pretty worn out, and replacing them will help reduce the chance of clutch chatter in your 2WD and 4WD Vanagon.

The original VW design was not great, so we took the opportunity to improve reliability and longevity in this area. We replaced the original plastic bushing, and rubber seals, with a bushing similar to what VW used at the other end of the shaft. We have been using this improved design for many years now with complete success.

Kit includes:
• Cross shaft locating bolt - (14mm) 113-311-141A or (18mm) 113-311-141*
• Cross shaft bushing (113-141-711A)
• Cross shaft washer (113-141-717A)
• Heavy Duty Oil Impregnated Bronze Cross shaft bushing (20mm) that replaces the factory plastic bushing and rubber seals (113-141-707C)
• (2) Circlips

Fits: All 1976-79 Type II Bus, and all 2WD and 4WD Vanagon with manual transaxle.

Fit note: The 18mm cross shaft locating bolt is for the late-style 091-301-071E aluminum bell housing only. If you are using your original bell housing, please select the kit with the 14mm bolt in the drop-down menu.

This is an awesome product. When the plastic bushings are no good, or the cross shaft has to be taken out, this is a must. I included pics of where I installed this bushing on a transmission where the bell housing was corroded. As you can see it fits well, and the bolt is an exact duplicate of the OEM.

OK it comes with what you need

Its got the brass bushing which is really nice. If anyone has ever taken off the transmission leaver and used heat to get it off you are going to have to replace the plastic bushings as they will melt. This kit is good and comes with the bolt.
