I'm rebuilding a pedal assembly for my buggy. Trouble is I'm not sure what year it is, I believe it's around 72 or 73. What is the difference in this part between those years? They show that it changed in 73. Does it come with bushings? If not where to get them? Thanks

I may be wrong but i never remember any bushings . it was just metal to metal as far as the clutch shaft went. I stopped using them and went to hydraulic clutch for a few extra bucks.Not sure if there is a difference

You have the clutch shaft, pin and spring, plus the two pedal arms. You can get the shaft, shaft pin and spring, mail order from Wolfsburg West, Corona, Ca. @www.wolfsburgwest.com. or 1951-549-0525. Ther'e in Hot V.W. Mag. :2cents:

Bushing is part of the pedal cluster. I never had to replace one yet. There was a change in height of crosshaft hook on 1973 and later ones. Corospond with change on transmission clutch release arm being longer too.

Do you know if the cable hook is longer or shorter on the late model pedals? Just wondering which one has the longer hook. It might be an easy way to reduce the clutch pedal effort.

Jerry I can't answer your question. However, I did take the thing apart today and it definately has a bushing in each end, they come right out. They appear to be plastic. I believe this is a fairly late model, it has an OE plastic accelerator pedal on it. I think they will be ok with a little grease, the shaft is just a little loose. I would take a picture, but my wife dropped her camera and it didn't like it very much.

Later one is longer. Just have to make sure it will line up with clutch tube.

The lever (hook) length could very well explain why my 69 Baja with a stage 2 kennedy pressure plate works with less effort then the stocker in my Manx sitting on a 1965 chassis. HMMMM.
