California Dreamin?

I would like to take a quick minute to write about a few amazing components which I use on every VW that enters my shop. Ever go down the freeway in your bug in the fast lane or the slow lane and… Suddenly, Boom! your gas pedal goes to the floor and you lose all power, and you say to yourself…  That darn throttle cable fell out again!”  Maybe the vise grips holding it all together fell off as well!

If you use this upgrade, it won’t happen again. These products are made with quality materials, and are very reasonably priced. I highly recommend the X-Celerator Pedal and the Clutch Pedal Shaft Upgrade Kit for your Bug! Every time I install these parts in a customer’s car, I always hear back, Wow, the pedals work so nice. – Bob Blackwell

The pedal called The Pistol Wheel from ClassicBugparts.com feels so solid compared to any other roller pedal I have felt.  – Anthony Fuentes

Here are Joe’s previous comments to us, regarding a thorough review of his bug before another long journey…

In 2014 I commissioned an extensive restoration of our 1970 Meyers Manx dune buggy. I have had a number of VWs in the past and have often had issues with pedal assemblies. I had seen the ads for the X-Celerator Speed Wheel and Big Boy Clutch Pedal Shaft Kits (I love to wear my Crocs when driving). I asked the builder (that uses them on all of his builds), and he convinced me that it was definitely worth it. After 2 years of use and many smiles later, I know he was absolutely correct, and I will be using both again on the Manx Resorter restoration that is currently in progress! You have my permission to use for any ads you’d like. Great products deserve it! Brian Giles  – Kingsland, GA

I had been having problems with the throttle pedal in my 1972 CLASS11x Bug since I built it over the last 6 years! The clip on the little wheel kept falling off, and then… NO throttle… SO… when I saw your X-CELERATER SPEED WHEEL 2… I knew this was the solution to my problem!!

Well… I figured that as long as the pedal cluster had to be R&R’ed anyway… I will just install the CLUTCH PEDAL SHAFT UPGRADE, as I was tired of trying to hold cable in the “hook” with everything from “bag-ties” to “zip-ties”! ALL went together well, and have performed flawlessly since the install. When I have the time ( to stop driving ) I plan on doing the exact same procedure on my “OldManx” as well. Your product’s design & quality get an A+ rating from this 45+ year (retired now) wrench & VW lover.

I drive my 1972 Meyers Towd all over town and have started to venture out a little bit farther lately. Last year we decided to drive from SoCal to St.Louis, so I wanted to upgrade a few things. We ordered the CLUTCH SHAFT and X-CELERATOR SPEED WHEEL from ClassicBugParts. I was a little nervous about driving “Lily” that far, but everything worked AWESOME! The pedal assembly from ClassicBugParts was one less thing I had to worry about. Thanks again. – Lori Ann Dario

The shaft upgrade has been likely the reason why I’ve not experienced clutch cable issues at all. With a simple wing nut adjuster added, it’s has been a rock solid setup – 20,000 miles since 2014.  – Andy Burger

We bumped into Jaime Flores at the “Meet in the Middle” VW event, where he was sporting his new VW Thing. Jamie has Classic Bug Parts products in all his VWs and is planning to install another Clutch Shaft Upgrade in his new ride. Another happy VW enthusiast who loves a smooth drive while making every mile count. Big thanks to Jamie!

My name is Mark Trevino and this is my 1964 factory sunroof bug. Last year I installed the Classic Bug Parts Clutch Pedal Shaft Upgrade. I know that I will never have to replace the cable, unless the butterfly wing nut in back snaps. I just know that it is one of the best upgrades I have installed in my ride. It has a smooth feel and I have recommended it to my friends.
