Has anyone tried the brazilian shifter Runner. In my case it is for a 1964 bus but any experience and opinion will be appreciated since it seems as the mechanism for the beetle is the same.
Appreciate your pros and cons list.
550 real is approx 125 USD (shipping not included)

That looks like an exact copy of the Bugtech shifter

You can say that just about any part, (cylinder heads, 034 Dist.) on & on & on....really if you think about it any replacement part is a copy of the original German part made by VW....so why are you so critical about this company manufacturing this shifter? |
