Shifter extender
Transmission and drivetrainEnglish · machine-assisted draft
An accessory fitted between a manual gear lever and its knob to raise or reposition the handgrip. It changes reach and leverage, rather than repairing worn linkage or acting as a short-shift kit. GoWesty’s Bus/Vanagon example uses a threaded extension and locating nut; compatibility depends on actual lever and knob dimensions.

Billet shift knob
Transmission and drivetrainEnglish · machine-assisted draft
A replacement handgrip for a manual gear lever, machined from metal stock, often aluminium. “Billet” describes the starting material, not a quality grade; the finished knob may include a hollow compartment. On a Bus or Vanagon, the mounting thread or adapter and any marked shift pattern must suit the fitted lever and transmission.
