I want to R&R the shift linkage/bushings on my 86 Syncro, and am not sure what kit to get. Does anybody know what exactly is included with the Bus Depot "Gear Shift Linkage Kit?" http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=251711200 Description is a little vague: "Bushings, Flanges, Plates & Selector Lever for Vanagon manual transmission shift linkage." GoWesty and VanCafe have separate kits for the shifter base and transmission linkage. If the BD kit is a hybrid of these kits, it would seem to be a real deal. Here are the GW / VC kits for reference: Shifter Base http://gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=3845&category_id=&category_parent_id= http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van_1256595766104/page_248_1246/shifter_base_repair_kit.html Tranny Linkage http://gowesty.com/ec_view_details.php?id=3368&category_id=&category_parent_id= http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van_1256595766104/page_251_1246/shift_linkage_repair_kit.html
Thanks for any advice or suggestions. James V 86 Syncro Westy + |
