Post by: ESH on January 30, 2009, 19:15:54 pm ... http://cal-look.no/lounge/index.php/topic,1583.0.html Taken from that thread: ... The shifter was NOS and the button is gold anodised ... (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/277367.jpg) Though I like the way the Berg shifter works I've never really liked the way they look but that version is an exception, to me that looks absolutely right. 8) Title: Re: GENE BERG shift handle story age...

Post by: bugnut68 on April 27, 2009, 23:14:09 pm I will never forget one of my dumbest mistakes as a young teenage kid... my first Bug came with a Berg shifter, a 40 percent version... It had a nasty tendency to slip into reverse when going to second gear, and I think it was simply because I didn't have it adjusted or lubed right. I chucked it in the trash when I got a Scat Drag Fast for Christmas one year. Either it became recycled into a series of who knows what kind of metal goods or some VW nut at the dump had a very good day... :-[
Title: Re: GENE BERG shift handle story age... Post by: Critter1 on April 27, 2009, 23:55:31 pm I wonder of these will ever become desirable??? I like it, its different. I've heard guys complain cuz their leg rides against the T handle and its uncomfortable. Maybe this is their fix.
Berg apparently just made a run of these in polished and black powder coated... I just bought one! ;D (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/pix/1858379.jpg) (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/pix/2223992.jpg) (http://images.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/pix/1858381.jpg) Title: Re: GENE BERG shift handle story age... Post by: Prowagen on April 28, 2009, 00:22:59 am The Ball handle shifter is really nice to use and quite substancial feels well engineered and tough. Whe have a few Polished LHD ones in stock.
