Made in America by Americans

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.

Here is the complete kit:

Please choose EITHER this Big Boy Pedal Extender Kit OR the Standard Clutch Pedal Upgrade 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 pedals for comfort (and bigger feet).  Complete kit shown at bottom of page.

The Engineering team at Classic Bug Parts created the solution for two  age old problems, the failing hook-and-loop design of the old clutch pedal shaft/cable on classic bugs, and the narrow spacing between their pedals.  The solution is the Big Boy Pedal Extender with its improved clutch pedal shaft design.  Beware…  There are now imitations out there.  But as always, we ONLY offer reputable US manufacturing and high quality materials.   There IS a difference.

The new shaft is 3/4 inches longer, providing almost 3 inches between the pedals, meaning more room for your feet.  This is a clean solution for eliminating the known problems while also placing the clutch pedal directly in front of your foot, making driving and engaging the clutch much more comfortable.

Please review the following short informational video that serves as an installation overview.  You may also consult the Bentley book for the year of your car.

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

1. NEW centerless ground clutch shaft with tig welded crank arm
and chromoly shoulder bolt
2. NEW brass bushing, flat washer, and nylock nut
3. NEW 3/4″ 6061 aluminum barrel spacer

4. NEW adjusted clutch stop bracket
5. NEW clutch shaft pedal pin
6. Tube of Super Lube grease
