Product Description

The Arrowhead Gear Shift Base Plate is a crucial component in the drive train gear selector assembly for select Volkswagen vehicles. This part acts as a stable mounting and pivot point for the gear shift mechanism, ensuring smooth and precise gear changes during everyday driving. Its robust metal construction and integrated plastic gear-like insert are designed to withstand repeated use and the demands of manual gear selection.

This gear shift base plate is compatible with various Volkswagen models. However, compatibility can vary, so it is essential to confirm your specific model, year, engine size, and engine code before purchasing. If you are unsure about fitment, our team at MiMi Auto Parts is ready to assist you.
