NOTE:
This kit is intended for original German pedal clusters, with German serial numbers starting 113.  This means if you are using an after-market cluster, these parts WILL NOT FIT.

Please choose EITHER this Standard Length Shaft Kit OR the Big Boy Pedal Extender Kit when purchasing.  They are both complete kits that perform the same function.  The only difference is the Big Boy’s longer pedal shaft provides more space between the clutch and brake pedals, for comfort (and those bigger feet).

The Engineering team at Classic Bug Parts has the solution to the problem with the hook and loop design of the old clutch pedal shaft and clutch cable on Classic Volkswagens.  On the original part there is constant wear on the clutch pedal shaft hook and on the loop of the cable end, as they pull against each other every time the clutch pedal is pressed in and out.   The old hook and loop design is known to break over time. 

The problem is gone with this improved Clutch Pedal Shaft design.  It works like a bearing for smooth pedal operation. Over a decade of testing on the new design shows no wear to the clutch pedal shaft cable locating pin.

Installing the clutch cable to the newly designed Clutch Pedal Shaft is a snap, just pull the clutch cable a few inches out of the tunnel and attach the clutch cable onto the locating pin, place the flat washer on, then tighten the Nylock nut, and finally slide the pedal assembly back in the tunnel. It’s that easy.

PLEASE REVIEW THE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO BELOW for more detail.  You may also consult the Bentley book for the year of your car.

The kit works with a STOCK CLUTCH CABLE which we highly recommend you replace as well, and is available at Wolfsburg West or other reputable vintage VW parts shops.   Please confirm that the new cable has a connector matching the stock connector in the image above.

Again, PLEASE NOTE:  This kit fits ONLY original German pedal clusters (with serial #s starting with 113), ’58-’79. Please choose EITHER this Standard Length Shaft Kit OR the Big Boy Pedal Extender Kit when purchasing.  They are both complete kits that perform the same function.  Left-hand drive only.
