Comparison points and tradeoffs
When comparing Shifter Tab Repair Kit for Volkswagen Vanagon with other Shifters options, use this source-backed detail as the primary discriminator: We used to recommend that people use heat shrink tubing to “build back” these ears—and that was a good temporary fix, since there was no other option available (other than finding a less-worn shift shaft).
Use this second fact to evaluate the tradeoff: Now, you may be wondering: Why is there no metal pin like before? By making the shifter tabs out of a plastic that is compatible with adhesive, the pins are no longer needed. This equals added savings, which we pass along to you! A third point to compare across alternatives is: Category: Replacement Parts / Transmission & Drive Train / Shifters & Parts / Shifters.
