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 and stainless steel shift ball lever, in addition to our DuroGreen Viton boots.*

If you need the Shifter Selector Lever Elbow and Pin, they are available separately. These parts don't fail often, which is why they are not included in the kit.

*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.

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

Shift Fix Kit

Had purchased another one from a company with the initials VC, the plastic ball that fits in the shift rod cup, disintegrated leaving me stuck in 3rd gear. Luckily I wasn’t far from home, but now the clutch is fried, from slipping in order to drive without 1st & 2nd gears. Hopefully this one will last. 4stars until longevity is found out. Btw, might be a good idea to carry a spare.

Wondering if the shift ball boot may be too stiff ?

Nice quality parts. I actually thought that the shift ball boot may be a little too thick and stiff ? Definitely a high quality rubber , but it didn’t seem to have much give to it. I had one of the older style black rubber boots on hand (bought from GOWESTY before you started selling the green Vitron ones), and in comparison the older black boot was much more flexible. The bellows on the black boot expanded and contracted easily as you would expect, but the new green one barely moves . I decide to use my older black boot when I installed these parts, thinking more flexibility would make for easier shifting. Keep up the good work developing and producing the different parts for our vans . Just giving some honest feedback in case you decide to tweak your design .

Shifter upgrade

The is a great improvement for the shift linkage. I highly recommend diving in and doing the complete rebuild from front to back, if you are up to it. A big job but there is lots of help on U tube. When you are done you have the satisfaction of smooth shifting.

Manual Shift Lever Kit

Nice little kit. Solved the issue on a clients 86 Westy that was not completely shifting into gears. Also purchased the front kit for the shifter itself, all of which made solid improvements.

Worked out great!

The metal and washer on this piece is a bit heavier duty which got a better grip on the selector shaft. The old one was so worn, I was having difficulty getting out of reverse and into first.

One of the best upgrades you can do for your van! If you haven't purchased this kit yet I highly suggest you do. Installation is easy and it makes a huge difference in the shifting of the gears.

improved shifting

I ordered this part along with a new shift selector lever (251-711-973GW) to help improve my vans shifting. The parts previously installed on the van didn't look worn or damaged but I had issues getting it into first gear and the other gears were very sloppy. After replacing this and the shift selector lever my van shifts better than before. I don't know why I waited so long to replace these.

Very high quality part. Made a big difference in the way the van shifted into reverse and through each of the forward gears
