This Dieselgeek 02A Bushing Kit has everything you need to make your 02A transmission equipped vehicle shift better than ever!
This kit includes these four products: 02A Cabin Side Bushing set , 02A Cable End Bushing set, 02A Super Slider, and a Plastic Cable Holder 1J0 711 256 from our local VW dealer. This kit saves time by being able to do everything all at once, so there is no going back in when one of the other spongy OEM bushings fail. This also saves over $20 compared to buying each kit individually.
These VW replacement bushings are made in the USA on a CNC mill and lathe with high grade Delrin and UHMW polyethylene and are guaranteed for as long as you own the car! Each piece was designed with precision in mind exact inner bushing diameter, thicker flanges and larger surface areas to dial out slop found in even the brand new stock replacement parts.
A brand new Plastic Cable holder is also included to make sure you have everything you need when installing this kit! On 1992 -1999 cable shift VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda cars, the cable holder is one of the weak links in the shift linkage. When they get about 10 years old they tend to get very brittle and develop a hairline crack that makes it harder and harder to get reverse and first gear. The part number on the actual part is 1J0 711 260 but the actual number as per VW is 1J0 711 256.
We have also included the option to add a DBD Solid Short Shift Bracket to your kit. The DBD Bracket features an expertly welded solid metal construction with no play in side to side action. In addition, it also reduces side to side throw by 35%. Includes rubber sealing rings, new circlip and hardware for the best possible fitment and installation. We highly recommend adding this so that you don't have to replace the weaker plastic part when it inevitably breaks again.
Important Application Note: Early 02A cars such as the 1989-1993 Corrado, Golf VR6, and Passat were equipped with rectangular-headed front to back cables (see images above for more detail). We have bushings for these rectangular-headed cables. If you have a car with a Rectangular headed front/back cable end then you must pick that option in the dropdown menu above. (The kit costs more due to lower production numbers.)
