The Arrowhead Gearshift Lever Short Cup is a crucial component in the drive train gear selector system for Volkswagen vehicles. This part is designed to connect and support the gearshift lever mechanism, ensuring smooth and accurate gear selection during operation. Its robust metal construction helps maintain the integrity of the gear selector assembly, especially in high-use vehicles.
Specifically made for Volkswagen models, this short cup is found within the drive train gear selector parts group.
