Rogue Engineering's rebuildable gear shift joint. One of the major areas to remove that "in gear shifter wobble" is to replace a worn gear joint.
We have built and sold countless manual transmission short shift kits since 2001. With this in mind, we have found that the aftermarket AND OEM gear shift joint to be an weak point in the shifting mechanism. With aftermarket joints, the plastic bearing material is both thin, fragile and have poor dimensions compared to stock. The factory joints are better quality, but do not last long.
We determined to improve the bearing material, increase wearable dimensions, and make them available for easy replacement and rebuilding. This also meant machining our own gear joint housing (from 7075 aluminum with a hard anodize coating). While we were at it, we designed a replacement circlip for our joint (from stainless steel).
OEM offset gear joint is welded to create the offset dimension
The Rogue Engineering gear joint is designed to match the crucial dimensions such as the dowel pin position to the selector rod center point. Make sure your selector rod gear joint is the OEM equivalent to the 25-11-7-533-057 or 25-11-7-526-415 part number.
Feature summation:
- Shift joint one-piece, CNC'd from 7075 aluminum and hard anodized. NOT welded like the OEM version.
- Circlip spring is made zinc plated spring steel
- Replaceable joint pivot bushing halves are CNC machined from Delrin
- Includes OEM factory foam inner bushing (25-11-1-434-194)
Sold as a complete joint with all parts. Parts available separately.
Application Note!
This part can be difficult to install while the transmission is installed in the vehicle. Best performed when transmission is down getting a clutch replacement.
