Just wanna say thanks so much for this video. It is super informative and you properly show each and everything that is being removed as well as telling the nut and bolt sizes. I plan on doing this on my own vanagon here soon. Very nice job with the video. Most people will do a video and completely skip how they took certain vital pieces off. Just want to say I really appreciate this

GoWesty doesn’t currently have the new shifter selector socket so I cleaned up the old one - hoping it’s fine for another 37 years :). Nice hack with the vise.

I know I wrote 7 months ago that I was doing it this weekend, but life for in the way. Did the removal today and was SO grateful for your video. Everything cleaned up so well and tomorrow putting it back together. THANK YOU!

thanks for posting, my oversize wheel and vancafe spare tire carrier pushed the tire up into my linkage, I could not find any of my gears, so I bent something or pushed something out of alignment, -- I see the spline joint so I can take it apart to work on it and also the "box". I had great shifting, then really unuable Janky shifting...hope to get it fixed today, May 2024.

I love this video and my 1985 VW Vanagan Camper has the same issue and I need to order all the parts. I have ordered from GoWesty before but I have tried many ways to identify the shifting linkage kit or whatever it is called. Can anyone help identify the parts I need to order? I would like to get it ASAP. Thanks Carl

At 10:35 you say you 'just slid the front rod back in'. For the life of me I can't see anyway to do this. It's too long to clear the front of the van which would give the read end of the bar a low enough angle to slide through back and over the gas tank... Totally frustrated, and so curious how you just slid yours in.

If I recall, to access the bushing you open it up from behind (towards the back of the van). So the gas tank is not an issue.
