| Is it possible to swap out a 64 and earlier shift rod and install an 65 and later rod in the same pan? I parted out a 65 years ago with the newer style coupler (at the back) and want to use it in a 63 pan. |

Yes,, the 65-67 shift rod and coupler will interchange and directly replace the 56-64 rod and coupler.

And, FYI, the shift rod/coupler changed about a quarter of the way into model year 1964.

| Just did some research in this and don't remember the details. What year did the length change from 44 to 47"? |

| kind of the other way around. For 1968 model year they moved the shift lever towards the rear and the shift rod got shorter at that time. |

And.. it changed again after 72.. Not sure..why.. maybe for the green house glass Super Beetle implementation.
I don't fool with many past 67.. cause.. for years. I thought VW stopped building cars after that. :lol:
68-72 111-711-155F
and
73-79 111-711-155G
" From 1968 to 1972, the shift rod measures 45-1/8 inches long. In 1973, VW moved the shifter position back a small amount and from 1973 to 1979, the shift rods where 43-5/8 inches long overall (41-11/16 inches Center of cup to center of pin hole)".
No one reproduces the 65-67 or the 68-72..
Most "modify" a Universal Buggy/Rail shaft if needed.
In reality... how many really need replacement anyway ... very few..
