We have your high-performance Cabin-side shifter bushings for the cable shift 02A transmissions used from 1989-1999 in the US and Canada. (See a more complete applications list below.) These parts replace the original sloppy bushings your car came with. These VW replacement bushings are made in the USA on a CNC mill and lathe with high grade UHMW polyethylene and are guaranteed for as long as you own your car!
These parts were designed to remove any extra slack in the cabin side shifter mechanism. For the two round bushings, the flanges are thicker than stock which dials out fore/aft slop. Also, the internal diameter of these two bushings is exactly the same as the steel pivot pin which gives precision that even new stock bushings cannot approach. Finally, the rectangular slider replaces the original thin plastic cap for the 10mm ball at the bottom of the mechanism. This ball rides in a groove in another lever which controls gate selection. When the ball cap gets old it gets hard and brittle and breaks off which makes for a lot of slop and very dodgy shifting. Even brand new, the ball cap has very little contact with the channel it rides in so accuracy was never the goal of the original parts (See last two pictures). The precision-made slider we offer with this kit has full contact with the relay lever's channel and this makes for much improved accuracy, shifting feel and durability. This is the part that VW *should* have made way back in 1989 when this system was first used! Made in the USA.
