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.

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.

<< Beware >> There are now imitations out there.  But as always, we ONLY offer reputable US manufacturing and high quality materials. There IS a difference.  Note these images comparing our clutch pedal shaft with a typical Chinese knock-off:

• the quality of the welds
• the finish of the crank arm
• the finish of the shaft itself
• our 4130 chromoly shoulder bolt, TIG welded, rather than the inferior clutch cable attachment stud turned on a lathe

Our welders are NASA certified and are currently fabricating components for the airline industry.  As you can see, they do beautiful work.  The clutch shafts we provide have been centerless-ground to German specifications and then polished.  We are pleased to provide only high quality parts, entirely fabricated in the U.S.

Some have decided to save just a few dollars and choose this instead:

To which we reply:
(If you choose wisely) The taste of high quality lingers far longer than the sweetness of a discounted price…

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.

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.

The clutch shaft kit includes:
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 adjustable clutch stop bracket
5. NEW clutch shaft pedal pin
6. Tube of Super Lube grease

A replacement Clutch Shaft Pedal Pin IS included with your kit.

NOTE:  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).
