Billet Plus Performance Shifter – Type 2 Split Window Bus (24 1/4" Tall)

Revolutionize the shifting feel of your early Bus with the Billet Plus Aluminum Performance Shifter. Standing at a commanding 24 1/4" tall, this shifter is specifically engineered for the unique ergonomics of the 1960–1965 Split Window Bus. Fully machined from premium billet aluminum, the handle and base feature a custom anodized finish with contrast-cut highlights and a precision-engraved EMPI logo.

This shifter replaces the notoriously long and vague factory throw with a crisp, notched, and high-performance feel. The combination of a heavy-duty chromed shaft and a specialized Poly Resin Bushing eliminates the common "slop" in the linkage. Additionally, the integrated Left-Hand Lock-Out Button and included heavy-duty lockout plate provide a mechanical safety to ensure you never accidentally engage reverse.
