EMPI 16-5103 Urethane Shift Coupler VW Late Style Baja Bug Dune Buggy Sand Rail

Product Description

EMPI 16-5103-0 is a Urethane Shift Coupler Kit compatible with Volkswagen late-style vehicles.

Much like the original one it replaces, this fits Type 1 (1965-on) and other applications that use this style of coupler. The key improvement on this unit is the two inserts for the cage, which are made from urethane, ensuring a tighter and more responsive shifter linkage. This is an essential upgrade for nearly any vehicle using this type of coupler.

Compatible with Volkswagen:

• Type-1 [Beetle/Bug] (1965–1979)
• Karmann Ghia (1965–1974)
• Type-2 [Transporter/Bus] (1968–1979)
• Type 3 [Fastback/Squareback] (All Years)

Additional Information:

• Material: Made from durable urethane, which outperforms standard rubber in strength and longevity.
• Design: Utilizes urethane bushing pads to eliminate slop and vagueness in the shifter linkage, providing a tighter and more responsive gear shift.
• Applications: Ideal for replacing worn or distorted coupler cages in stock VW shifter linkages.
• Replacement Part Number: OEM reference number 311-798-211.
• Sold As: Complete kit.
