Shift rod bushing and boot set. Crafted from superior Teflon & DuroGreen Viton Rubber. These bushings and boots are designed for smooth shifting, zero maintenance, and superior protection from the elements. This system is the preferred choice for vans that see frequent off-road use. If you typically spend lots of time driving in dusty and muddy environments, these boots will keep your bushings free from dust and dirt accumulation for trouble-free shifting.

Fits: All 1983-91 manual transaxle watercooled Vanagon models including many diesel models. Does not fit aircooled Vanagons.

Bundle includes:
(2) Teflon Shift Shaft Bushings
(4) DuroGreen Viton Shift Shaft Boots

*Installation tip: Our Teflon bushings (and Viton boots) are designed to operate completely dry. No lube of any kind is used on the bushing or the shafts—nothing for dirt and grime to stick to. Zero regular maintenance is required. To install, just clean off all the old built-up lubricants and road grime, slip these bushings into place, and forget about sticky shifting. These are truly the last set of shifter bushings you will have to install in your Vanagon!

Installers Note: This hard bushing system is vastly superior in terms of shifting, durability and maintenance. However, they do not dampen engine vibration (noise) between the shift shafts and body as well. This is not a problem with a flat-four engine (VW Waterboxer or Subaru) because they are so smooth. Not recommended for inline engine conversions, especially diesel.

The quality of this product seems to be very high.

The Teflon bushing is clamped between two plates together with the rubber. Because the shift rod is not perfectly perpendicular to these plates, the Teflon bushing will also sit at a slight angle. Therefore, you should only fully tighten the clamping plates once the shift rod is completely in position. This allows the Teflon bushings to settle into the correct angle naturally.

The Teflon bushings will probably never wear out, but if the rubber eventually deteriorates due to age, there will be some play again in the system.

The ends of the rubber pieces could be slightly longer, to make it easier to attach a clamp. In my case, the rubber would sometimes bunch up, whereas with a clamp you can secure it in the correct position so that it can always move smoothly in and out.

very flexible the fit over the bushing is tight but the end that wraps around the shaft needs to be a bit longer with a raised lip as that end must be secured to the shaft with either a tie wrap or wire tension clamp. Dirt will enter if the boot if not fixed to the shift shaft.

Excellent quality

For my last build I used the shift rod bushings which were great, for this build I'm doing the boots as the factory boots are cracked, these are really good quality.
