EMPI Billet Plus Aluminum Performance Shifter RHD — 12.25" Lock-Out | VW Type 1 (B5-6040-0)

Billet Plus Aluminum Performance Shifter with Lock-Out (12 1/4" Tall)

Elevate your driving experience with the Billet Plus Aluminum Performance Shifter, a premier upgrade designed for precision and show-quality aesthetics. Fully machined from high-grade billet aluminum, the handle and base feature a custom anodized finish with re-machined highlights for a striking visual contrast. The handle is topped with an engraved EMPI logo, signaling the quality and performance within.

Engineered for the serious driver, this shifter features a heavy-duty chromed shaft paired with a new high-performance Poly Resin Bushing. This combination significantly reduces shifter throw and eliminates the "slop" found in factory units, providing crisp, notched gear engagement. The integrated Right-Hand Lock-Out Button and included heavy-duty lockout plate ensure that reverse is only engaged when you intend it, protecting your transmission during spirited driving.
