My shifter bushing was worn out after 150,000 miles. The VW dealer does not sell the socket as a single piece, but wants to sell the entire shift cable. Mine was in great condition except for the bushings. I was glad to know that your company offers replacement products to only fix what needs fixing. By replacing the bushing, I not only saved the cost of the cable, but also the installation work. Save money and time. Installation 15-20 minutes. I definitely recommend it.
