Starter Bundle (Manual Trans) [Late Bus/Vanagon]

Description

Finally, a modern permanent magnet starter for your Bus or Vanagon with manual trans!

This puppy is tiny compared to the original starter, even smaller than the gear reduction starters we once offeredbut packs a wallop when it comes to power! This starter is rated at 1.0KW, but our tests confirm it cranks our 2.7-liter engine better than the 1.4KW gear reduction starter we used to offer, and it is about half the price! This is a brand-new, direct-fit starter complete with fresh installation hardware.

No core exchange, no modifications required, and for a price anyone can afford!

Fits the following vehicles:
1976-79 Type II Bus with2.0 liter andmanual transaxle
1980-82 Aircooled Vanagon with manual transaxle
1983-91 Watercooled Vanagon with manual transaxle,including Syncro*
Engine conversions withmanual transaxle

Wrench Rating: 2 wrenches for all vehicles other than the Syncro. Installation on the 4WD vans is quite a bit more involved and deserves a 3-Wrench rating.

Fit Notes

We highly recommend installing our Starter to Alternator Wiring Harness Upgrade Kit when replacing your starter. Delete your old and corroded wiring while simultaneously improving the performance of multiple systems. If you retain your factory original wiring, you may need to delete the jam nut and washer from the starter solenoid post to obtain more stud length. This is perfectly safe, and will not negatively affect the durability or longevity of the starter solenoid.
