Is the GoWesty Shifter Bushing Bracket compatible with all Vanagon manual transmissions?

Yes, the GoWesty Shifter Bushing Bracket is specifically designed to fit all Volkswagen Vanagon models with manual transaxles from 1983.5 to 1991. It's a direct replacement for the factory bracket and works with both original VW bushings and aftermarket shift bushings.

How many shifter bushing brackets do I need for my Vanagon, and does it come with everything needed for installation?

Each Vanagon with a manual transmission requires only one shifter bushing bracket. The part is sold individually—just one per vehicle is needed. The bracket installs using your existing hardware, and many Vanagon owners have found installation to be straightforward with basic tools.

How does replacing the shifter bushing bracket solve common Vanagon shifting problems?

A worn or damaged shifter bushing bracket can lead to vague or sloppy shifting in your Vanagon. Replacing it with the GoWesty bracket helps restore proper alignment and support for your shift bushings, dramatically improving shift feel and precision. Many buyers report a noticeable improvement in shifting smoothness after installation.
