Bug@5-Speed “Beetle Shifter”
The Shifter can be looked as a short throw shifter, due to the reduction in shifter throw.
The base of the shifter provides additional support for the beetle shift rod as well as a bushing for the beetle rod to ride smoothly on. This support eliminates a lot of the issues that some folks may have due the bending their bug shift rods like a Z or are not having the proper alignment. With the supported shift rod, proper alignment from the shifter to the input shaft on the Gearbox is maintained.
-Shifter has spring gate to prevent accidental shifting into reverse.
Can use with a stock, aftermarket or our shifter ball.
