Votre Vanagon présente-t-il des passages de vitesses imprécis ? Réparez définitivement ce levier de vitesses mou !

Ce kit comprend les pièces nécessaires pour éliminer une fois pour toutes les passages de vitesses imprécis. Le coupable le plus courant est la rotule en plastique, qui a tendance à s'user au fil du temps. Procurez-vous ce kit exclusif conçu par GoWesty, qui comprend une rotule en plastique dur neuve et un levier de rotule de boîte de vitesses en acier inoxydable, en plus de nos soufflets en Viton DuroGreen.*

Si vous avez besoin du coude et de la goupille du levier de sélection de boîte de vitesses, ils sont disponibles séparément. Ces pièces tombent rarement en panne, c'est pourquoi elles ne sont pas incluses dans le kit.

*Comme la plupart des pièces en caoutchouc d'origine Volkswagen, ces soufflets de boîte de vitesses étaient de très haute qualité et duraient longtemps. Malheureusement, la plupart des soufflets de reproduction de l'après-vente manquaient de la durabilité des originaux, nous avons donc fabriqué les nôtres en Viton de qualité supérieure.

Compatible avec : Ce soufflet convient aux Vanagon refroidis par eau de 1983 à 1991 équipés des boîtes de vitesses 091 (2 roues motrices) et 094 (4 roues motrices et 5 vitesses 2 roues motrices).

What is Viton you ask?

Well, Viton is a fluorocarbon-based fluoroelastomer. Cool! It is considered one of the best synthetic rubber materials available. It is known for its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and fluid resistance, making it the ideal material for harsh environments. It is often used in the aerospace and automotive industries where exposure to high temperatures, fuel, oil, and other chemicals is common. It is tough and durable, with great abrasion and tear resistance. It is famous for its fluid resistance and ability to withstand exposure to aggressive fuels, oils, acids, gases, hydrocarbons, and other chemicals. Viton also has a strong resistance to UV exposure, oxidation, ozone, weathering, and molds. So yeah, it is really good stuff!

The material used to make this Viton (FKM) product conforms to the following testing standards: ASTM D-2240, D-412, D-792, D-573, and D-471

At GoWesty, we know materials matter—especially when it comes to elastic polymer (“rubber”) parts. Do you ever wonder why OEM parts seem to last many years, but often the replacement parts break down in a matter of months? It’s because manufacturers had to support every part of their vehicles for at least ten years or suffer the consequences of customer dissatisfaction and ultimately loss of sales. The devil is in the details when it comes to the stuff of which parts are made. Just because it looks the same doesn’t mean it is the same! You can have two identical-looking parts in your hand and one of them might be complete junk. If you have a DuroGreen GoWesty part in your hand, you can rest assured it is made of the very best, high-quality material for the application.

We make our proprietary polymer parts green so you can tell it is a genuine, properly engineered, maximum-durability part available only from GoWesty!

Every DuroGreen product comes with a 10-year, no-hassle, 100% satisfaction guarantee.

10-year replacement warranty coverage applies to the original owner for any DuroGreen item that is used for the intended application.
