so which rear coupler should I go with... Being on the east coast I usually buy parts through bus depot, but they don't seem to have the rear coupler? Only place I found rear coupler is cip1.. but they have 4 to choose from.

I'm thinking I'll go with the so called heavy duty one? Has anyone else tried it?

here's the link

Get the heavy duty. Some of them are really cheap and bend.

ok so I discovered today that my rear shift rod (long piece) has two bushings that are the same with only the single tab.. there is only one hole in the rod for both bushings..

here is a picture of the bushings

Image may have been reduced in size. Click image to view fullscreen.



So there is no way that I can put the double tab bushing with the metal ring insert on.. I have an early LATE Bay jan73.. Standard transmission bus.. looking above at the microfiche of the automatic diagram I noticed that the long shift rod of an automatic only uses one style of bushing too. Could I have an automatic shift rod in my standard bus??? They don't look to be the same.. or is it more likely some standard buses did not use the bushing with the double tabs/metal ring insert?

There seems to be no carved in stone rule to shift rod bushings, different years and different months have different styles and combinations.
You can file off one of the plastic titties to use the double one or drill another hole in the rod.

yeah that's a good point busdaddy.. I could just carve off one of the tabs on a double tab bushing.. or maybe I should just put in two of the single tab bushings like it has been and forget about it.. I've been driving it like that for 15 yrs and its likely been like that for a lot longer? Really think getting all the old grease and dirt out and replacing with new.... and replacing the rear coupler (that was well good and bent) d'oh! should make a good improvement.

Wooooo...., someone let the back of the transmission drop, while it's out now would be a good time to have a look at the bracket inside the nosecone for cracks.

Does anyone make a kit for this refresh? Or does everything need to be sourced seperately?

There are quite a few different ball housings and stop plates floating around. The ball housing, Bentley calls it a bracket, and I refer to it as the shifter pivot tower, come with side cutouts for stop plates with side tabs or no side cutouts for the plain stop plates without side tabs.

Early bays had the stop plates without tabs and pivot towers without the side cutouts. As far as I know they are the same as used on some years of bugs. Some bugs used stop plates with square ends.

Late bays used the stop plates with side tabs that protrude from the side cutouts in the pivot towers. The stop plate can be moved around when adjusting by pushing on the exposed tabs. The pivot tower bolts still need to be loosened to adjust but just a little bit. The early bay setup needs the 2 bolts losened a lot and the pivot tower raised up quite a ways to push in underneath with a screwdriver to reposition the stop plate.

Stop plates with side tabs require that the pivot towers with side slots be used. But the stop plates without tabs (my prefered ones) work with either style of pivot tower. Except when used with towers with slots then the slots turn into quite an air leak in the winter.

Hi
The bushings come in a kit. Everything else is separate.
Good Luck

I don't know what the part number for 24 is. Or where you are going to find it.

#24 is 211 711 221. no idea where you would get this part besides old stock somewhere.

the parts book diagram (yellowed image above top) shows a '72 shift rod and the front bushing #15 as 211 711 185B which on most Buses is actually in the rear location. 211 711 179 is the bush with the metal ring inside and it is normally at the front (except '72, it looks like). So the '72 shift rod must be unique not only in it's 2-piece design but also in using the bushings in the reverse location than other years.


Thanks Scott for the part number.
On the 72. The drawing depicts bushing 179 front - 185B rear. But as you pointed out the text has 185B front - 179 rear. Wonder what is correct.

Thanks again

I ran into this same issue recently with a 1976 I've been working on. Last week I installed a newly rebuilt transaxle from Transworks here in El Cajon.

While I had the transaxle out I removed the shift rod assembly and refurbished the rod along with new nylons birdies. Once all together we went for a ride and I found shifting difficult so we started looking and found this.

I don't have a welder so I fabricated a repair doubler from .092 stainless.

If you're going to do this the size of the doubler should be about 1 7/8 X 2 1/4. The size of the bushing hole is 1.00 inches. Here's a pic of it installed. I mounted the doubler on the aft side and this worked out fine even though the bushing actually sits a tad bit aft from original.

I haven't driven it yet but my guess is that this will be a good repair.

Does anyone know the length of the shifters in the picture? I would like to know the length of the OG VW shifter, if possible, from "bell" to knob, or top of round/square hole to knob.

Thanks,
Robbie

So after four years of hitting my forehead on the dash for third and patting the passenger on the knee for fourth, I found out that there is a distinct difference between the two shifters in the photo. The overall length of the OG shifter is about three to four inches longer, so we don't need shift extensions, but the REAL difference is the axial bend of the "elbow". See in the Bentley reverse lock out (stop) plate adjustment section, that 2nd gear should have the short lower section vertical and the main handle shaft tilted towards the driver? The crap aftermarket shifter is opposite: 1st and 2nd handle is centered, then 3rd and 4th are tilted to the right enough to annoy the passenger. I wholeheartedly despise whoever approved the aftermarket shifter production prototype…

See in the picture below how the "pipe bowl" indexing pin is tilted "up" more in the OGVW shifter on the left. Yeah, that's a BIG deal. Thanks Volkswagen.
