VW BUS Endless Summer Series - Shift Rod Bushings and Coupler

Good stuff here Folks! It all went fairly easy. Pretty good How to, and a must if you ever have your engine pulled. I didn't know that the coupler was broken. Peace and I'll see you on the next one!
My channel is all about the adventure in a 1950s VW Bus. Camping, Overlanding,
Vintage Gear, and Campsite reviews to historical finds along the way. Weekly Adventure -
On Wednesdays Folks, 11:05 am PT (Los Angeles) Overland/Off-roading Video
and/ or Bus Upgrade / Improvement, Installs to the Bus Video. Bi-Monthly -
Restoration, Maintenance, and others on Sundays. I'll throw in a Coleman
Lantern Light up from time to time also. Only a couple of these a month.
Sometimes both could be one of each or both the same.

Ha Ha, I just remember seeing the 8mm tee handle in my Dad's tool box the other day!

That is way cool, All smiles.🙂

Well Larry that's two in one day for me ! A bonus, thanks for sharing. You mentioned that your bus was " rusty " I beg to differ. You wipe the underside of your bus with a damp cloth & I'll eat my dinner off it !

[@dandog7653]

Yeah, it looked pretty clean to me too!

Good videos bro. Hello from Perú

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Hello there!

[@nealchristensen1793]

Lots of really helpful information ! Thank you !

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Glad it was helpful! It wasn't as dirty inside the tube as I thought it would be. Whenever I have the transmission out I always pull the shift rod and take a look.🤙 Thanks for watching!

Man, new tranny, new shift rod, bushings, bet it shifts great now! How's the conducted drivetrain noise up to the cab? Mine was bad (has nothing to do with driving a 65 year old trans, right?!) I tried some of those orange urethane connectors at each end and it seems to help...all them gears in the crashbox and RGB's, so never gonna be totally quiet, tho...oh well, still runnin like a champ!✌️😊

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Hey Tim, It was pretty tight for that first outing I went on, then it loosened up. You have that non synchro gearbox so first is gear is loud. The life of driving a tin box!😁😉🚐

[@VintageOverlandAdventures]

Welcome aboard! It’s a copy of a VW dealership 1967 type2 parts book, purchased at the Vintage Meet In Seattle in the late 90s. 🤙
