new shifter coupling doesnt fit????
ok ive got my old coupling out which is sloppy as hell and i try to slide the new one onto the gearbox shaft and the shaft wont slide into the
hole.
old one slides on fine obviously. were they different sizes?
have i been sent the wrong coupling? it could only be out by about half a mm or so.

most vw places i've seen only stock 2 types
the old round style on pre 64(?) i think and the sqaure block type that are from there on
is it a genuine one?
i got a replacement for my 74 Lbug a few years ago that was made in brazil and it had more slop than my old original one
it may just be a bad casting

no slop in the new one.
its the old round type.
looks exactly like the one i took out.
it didnt come in a box or anything so no documenttation just came with all the other parts i ordered loose in the box
it looks to be very well made just wont slide over the shaft:cussing

barry, the old ones are all one piece iirc
is it just cast with a smaller hole than the original?
could you open it out with a drill to fit?
and is it both ends are to small or only one?

i think i had a similar problem when i changed mine... just get some emery and clean up the inside of the hole a little... it should then slide on...
oh and clean the shaft up too..
see.... air and water do mix

U may have purchased the sheap coupling that dosent fit anything.... sometimes its better to spend a little more funds and get one that works.
as Barry said you may be able to pull the plastic blocks out and fit them to the old housing better option.sl

fitted now.
after some annoying and lenghty fine sand paper work the coupling slid snugly over the shaft.
i wasnt given options when i asked for the coupling dave i just asked for a coupling for a 62 model.
no plastic blocks in the old style one.
