Re: Shifter with trigger

I just spoke with the original owner of the buggy and it has a very very short throw shift on it, should I go with something more conventional?

Re: How to soften suspension if possible

12 PSI, and the shocks are KYB gas shocks all the way around

Shifter with trigger

Hello All,
Another question for you, I just got this buggy and I do not like the shifter on it, it has a pull up type trigger to find reverse and I have a hard time finding first gear, seems I keep finding 3rd gear just fine, any recommendations?

Thanks all again,

Rick

How to soften suspension if possible

Hello All,
Is there any way to soften up the suspension on a stock VW link pin and swing axle buggy? I already have very nice seats and I am old and not looking for Hot Rod suspension, just go to the mountains with buggy to view the scenery

Thanks all in advance

Hello All, I did find the brake plunger (connected to front side of Brake Pedal) and the reservoir for the brake fluid, located on the right hand side, just underneath the hood and behind the front right tire, it appears it gravity feeds to the plunger assy.
