VW 77 type 2 bay shift rod

[Royce123]

I am replacing the bushings and boots on shift rod while transmission is removed on VW type 2 bay. I have the bushings (3) fasten along the shift rod, but where do I fasten the boots and how do they stay in place?

Let’s see, you install the aft boot and then slide the rod through the tube. Then install the forward boot. The circumference of the tube holds the boots in place. A person could use rtv to help hold them and silicone grease on the rod so they slide

if you bought a bushing kit, possible that not every bushing in the kit is used. some kits are made for both early and late and have parts for both in them.
