VW Type 1 Clutch Pedal Shaft – Heavy Duty Replacement

Restore the mechanical integrity of your pedal cluster with this precision-engineered clutch pedal shaft. Over decades of use, the original factory shafts are prone to developing deep grooves where the bushings ride, or even twisting under the pressure of heavy-duty performance pressure plates. This replacement shaft is manufactured to original equipment specifications, ensuring perfect geometry and smooth operation.

Whether you are performing a full chassis restoration or just fixing a "sticky" pedal, this shaft is a foundational part of a reliable drivetrain. It features a high-strength steel construction designed to handle both stock and high-performance clutch setups without binding.

Product Specifications & Features

• Material: High-tensile strength steel for maximum torque resistance.

• Fitment: OE-spec dimensions for a drop-in replacement.

• Durability: Precision-machined surfaces to reduce friction and bushing wear.

• Design: Features the correct hook-end for the clutch cable attachment.

Vehicle Fitment

This shaft is designed for the standard floor-mounted pedal assembly found in:

• VW Beetle: 1952–1979 (Standard and Super Beetle)

• VW Karmann Ghia: 1956–1974

• VW Type 181 Thing: 1973–1974

Tech Tip: While you have the pedal cluster apart to replace the shaft, it is the perfect time to replace the pedal cluster bushings and the clutch cable. Always apply a liberal amount of high-quality lithium grease to the shaft surface and the hook-end during assembly to ensure a lifetime of smooth shifting.
