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.

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.

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.

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.
