Shared Vanagon Dictionary

• Shift rod bushing

  In this glossary entry, “shift rod bushing” refers to the rear guide bushing listed for Vanagon/T25. Paruzzi gives different VIN breakpoints for Syncro and non-Syncro applications around April 1987, so the generic name does not establish fitment. Confirm the chassis/VIN and linkage position before treating a catalog match as compatible.

• Front shift rod bushing

  A replaceable guide bushing for the forward section of the gearshift linkage. Paruzzi separates these front bushings from the middle and rear supports and lists this Vanagon/T25 part for Type-4 or diesel engines through July 1982, and CT or CZ engines through December 1982. Check the actual engine and linkage against that catalog scope; “front” alone does not confirm fitment.
