Looks interesting. Does it lift the shifter higher, so its not as far to reach down from the wheel?
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

I think it would work like the standard shifter. Counter pressure. Push down. Looks nice

Hi Jason
You can buy a quick shaft from anywhere these day for $10 or $20. Just follow Joel's post on the shift rod bush replacement to install a quick shift,
these cut the throw down about 40%.
Davids car has a Type 3 gear stick, these need a little bit of work to fit.
The later bugs have a rotating gear stick, early bugs and Type 3s have the gearstick anchored so that it doesn't rotate, its anchored by a pin that
pokes out the front of the gear stick base.
To fit a Type 3 non rotating gear stick you just need to cut a slice in the gear shift rod to accommodate the pin with an angle grinder, with the rod
removed of course.
I prefer the Type 3 gear stick because it has a bend in that moves it back toward the driver.
Steve

thanks for the info steve.
do the quickshift kits look like this?

"The most economical way to shift faster and easier under all driving conditions. Shortens throw of VW shift linkage by 40%. Heavy duty
sturdy construction. Easy to install, no special tools needed."
Is the Type 3 shifter any year in particular? (you say early... I'm guessing 65ish?)
I shall check out joels shift rod bushing thread.
thanks heaps

those quick shift kits look the works!
I bought one. was an empi... I had a second hand one too.
I used the second hand one cause the reverse lock out plate fitted straight in firmly... while the empi was a little more rough cut with a very small
amount of metal protrusions that would have to be filed off. it would take a minute to clean up, but i was lazy. They aren't that bad though (the
empi ones)
But all in all... i have a spare one around!
I'm pretty sure i got the rest of it sitting on the pan, will have to have a geeze. but if your interested... give a holla.
mind you, CB for $6... you can't go wrong and its made by a reputable company as you are well aware.
(ô_!_/ô) (ô_!_/ô)
69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears.
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta!
