Vanagon Screeching shifter fix 

Nevermind! found it

Ok, it is also at the end of the video.

I tried the broom handle trick and couldn’t get it on followed by trying to get my arm far enough in to just put it on with my hand. Fail. The last thing I tried was I used the shifter bar, the one with the two balls on it. With the bushing on that it went on first try. Just wanted to let future folks know! Thanks again for the video

Great solution, I think the broom works great if you heat up the bushing first. Glad you figured it out.

Glad it helped! Don’t forget to sub. I got a few more vanagon videos coming up.

The manual is the Green one, they call it the Bentley :)

Thanks. inside diameter seems to be correct, I could of sanded it a bit and made it work.

I used a hammer to tap it in. I am having a problem with the ball seating properly. The bushing seems to leave about 1/16" more space as it is pushed down. Not sure if that would make a difference...

Hey Joe, The website says it’s universal, and I’m positive it’s the correct one. There are no other bushings on the site. Honestly not sure where to get the correct one. I’ll try to contact vanagain.
