First experience with a vanagon (this is a 1988) and waiting for the bentley to arrive.
It looks to me like a finger or something similar might be broken off on the driver's side (right side in pic). Can anyone confirm or deny? If it is broken, can you sell me a good one?
Also, anyone sell a rebuild kit for the back by the transmission? I found one for the front stuff, but need the rear bushings and whatever else wear parts. |

Not sure about the first question about it being broke or not. The rebuild shifter kit is available at Volks-Cafe at http://www.volkscafe.com/vanagon_parts.jsp?ct=355838710&pa=pct&pct=422400270 |

There's nothing in that shift rebuild kit that will help your situation.
The plastic tabs on the sides are gone, and van cafe doesn't sell that front arm.
It's a one-piece deal, about 3-4 feet long.
Did you take off the box, that surrounds this part of the linkage, for the photo, or is it missing?
I've heard of people attempting to re-glue some sort of plastic composite onto the ends of those knobs. |

Hmm. So the metal part is okay, but there are plastic bits missing? Anywhere to get those? Or instructions to make new ones?
I did remove the cover thing, it wasn't missing. |

the ones I know that attempted some sort of attachment, as far as I remember, those attachments didn't last long.
that I know of, the only option is to get a complete front arm.
If you click on the link given by rhinoculips, you'll see a notation about this at the bottom of the page, at the end of the section titled "shifter box" |

Back from the dead!
The part number for the selector shaft is 251 711 271D. Its #13 as found here: http://etka.auto2.ru/epc/cat/vw/T2/1985/4/55/59024/
I looked at mine tonight and the little upright thing that handles R-1-2 is GONE, as in no plastic, no metal. GONE :shock: Though the 3-4 side is still there and looking great.
Hooray for being able to feel it into 1st and 2nd...I think.
Ill call the dealer monday and get a quote, i have a feeling my wallet is going to be much lighter. Ill have to check at some breaking yards tomorrow too.
Oh yeah, it looks like BD doesnt have them listed anymore :( Anyone from BD want to correct me?
...Hang on a sec: 1stvwparts.com has it. $110 list, $80.65 is their price. |
