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.

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.
