tight shifter

Aug 31, 2003 1 Replies

Hey, the shifter on my bug is kinda tight. Actually, I never notice it cause I'm used to it but my wife mentioned it and now that she mentioned it, yeah, it is kinda tight. What can I do to loosen it up a bit?



When I replaced my shift bushing a couple of years ago, I had the rod out and it looked fine, not bent or nuthin'.

Could the bushing be dry? Apply a bit of grease and see if that helps.
