711 shifter for the VW T3

Holman Engineering is the original source for the 711 shifter for the VW T3.

We conceived, designed and manufacture them in our factory in the southeast of England with wholly UK sourced components.

The 711 shifter is a total replacement for all later type 14mm* gear levers, with a quick shift action for reduced lever throw and a unique bias spring arrangement to assist critical shifts such as 1st-2nd and 4th-3rd on a 5 speed, R-1st and 3rd-2nd on a 4-speed and/or G-1st and 3rd-2nd on a syncro.

Note that the neutral resting position of the 711 shifter is changed to the middle shift plane for all transmission types compared to original i.e. 2nd-3rd on a 5-speed and 1st-2nd on a 4 speed or syncro, giving a more modern car-like gearshift.

It has a fully modular design, fits petrol or diesel vehicles and can be configured for RHD or LHD and also changed from 4-speed to 5-speed with a change of parts (available on request, at cost)

711 shifters are supplied fully assembled and ready to fit with minimal modifications to the original gearshift mechanism.

We ship direct to all markets worldwide (subject to any current trading restrictions) .

*early type 12mm gear levers can also be replaced with a 711 shifter with the addition of the appropriate later parts i.e. converting from the aircooled front linkage and selector box to the later wbx parts.
