Subject:Shifter Rebuild Kit
From:James V <tornadored@GMAIL.COM>

I want to R&R the shift linkage/bushings on my 86 Syncro, and am not
sure what kit to get.  Does anybody know what exactly is included with
the Bus Depot "Gear Shift Linkage Kit?"

http://busdepot.com/details.jsp?partnumber=251711200

Description is a little vague: "Bushings, Flanges, Plates & Selector
Lever for Vanagon manual transmission shift linkage."

GoWesty and VanCafe have separate kits for the shifter base and
transmission linkage.  If the BD kit is a hybrid of these kits, it
would seem to be a real deal.

Here are the GW / VC kits for reference:

Thanks for any advice or suggestions.
