Will this heavy-duty clutch cross shaft fit my VW Bus or Vanagon?

Yes, this heavy-duty cross shaft is designed for 1968–79 Type II Buses and all 1980–91 2WD or 4WD Vanagons with 091/094 bell housings. Double-check your model year and transmission type for a perfect fit, but if your vehicle falls in these ranges, this part is made to work with your VW.

How is this cross shaft better than the original VW part?

The main advantage of this clutch cross-shaft is its fully welded fingers. Unlike the original VW design, which failed where the fingers met the shaft, this version features complete welds all the way around for superior strength and reliability. You'll get the same fit and function, but with peace of mind knowing this part is less likely to break under stress.

Do I need anything else to install this clutch cross shaft, and are there any installation tips?

For best results, we recommend replacing or checking the cross shaft bushing kit during installation. Many customers pair this heavy-duty cross shaft with a new bushing kit to ensure smooth operation and longer lifespan. If you're installing it yourself, be sure to clean and lubricate all moving parts, and double-check alignment for trouble-free clutch action.

This cross-shaft is superior to the original VW design in terms of strength. The original design was known for failing at the welds between the fingers and the shaft. The fingers on this shaft are welded all the way around. Except for that feature, and the much lower price, they are identical to the Volkswagen part.

Fits: 1968-79 Type II Bus, and all 1980-91 2WD/4WD Vangon with 091/094 Bell Housing.
