Has your VW lost First, Reverse or Fifth gear?
We've been reuniting VW owners with their first gears for quite a while! Repair the damaged or missing relay ball on your year model 2000 - 2007 MK4 and MK5 shift lever with our innovative bell crank relay socket. When your relay ball bushing develops a flat spot or disintegrates you will find that it is hard to get into first gear without pushing the shifter stick hard to the left. You might even readjust your shifter to enable you to get first and second gears but that makes it darn near impossible to get fifth gear. The dealer alternative to this repair kit is to buy a new shifter shaft assembly from the dealer for around $100 and then drop the exhaust, heat shield and shifter box to install it. To install this part you only have to remove the center console* inside the cabin and push the part into the steel bell crank to the left of the shifter stick. Just make sure to remove any soft rubber remnants of your old relay bushing before you install this part. This custom bushing is machined in the USA from ultra durable plastic material. Guaranteed for as long as you own your car!

If your 2000-2006 Mk4 car needs these bushings then it probably needs the Solid Stick SHAFT bushings and First Gear Getter, too. Get them all with>Deluxe MK4 Shifter Bushing Kit.

2000-2007 VW Golf, GTI, R32, and Rabbit

US Shipping: We offer and highly recommend FedEx 2nd Day Flat Rate shipping on this item alone if you are in any sort of hurry to get it. (Slower US Postal Service shipping is also available.) We ship Monday through Friday from Colorado except on holidays.   

International shipping:  USPS shipping is currently suspended due to their system backlogs. In these uncertain times we recommend the slightly more expensive but much faster FedEx International Connect Plus service. Taxes on most orders shipped outside of the USA are collected at checkout and shipped Duty-Paid for a smooth delivery process. If no taxes are charged at checkout, FedEx will likely collect local taxes upon delivery. Also, for Canada, the new USMCA trade agreement will reduce taxes and duties on this item.

Highly recommended: Buy a high quality T25 Torx driver or socket to remove the pivot screw for the steel bracket that the side to side cable attaches to. The T25 screws are very tight and the heads are somewhat soft. If you strip out the head then you will need to drill the head off with a 13/64" or 5mm drill bit. After the stripped head is drilled off, the remaining shank of the 5mm screw will unthread easily. We provide an extra 5mm Allen screw in case you strip the head of the stock T25 screw. The replacement screw we include is 14mm long and requires a 4mm or 5/32" Allen drive wrench or socket.

 

*Install videos are below. Removing the center console is covered in the Robert Bentley service manual and ERWIN. Other videos provided to improve shifting action.

Should have been like this from the factory!
Size: For 3rd Gen Tacoma (2016-2023), Color: Black
bgucar Driver Side A-Pillar Grab Handle for Toyota Tacoma is a practical interior upgrade designed to provide added support, convenience, and style for Tacoma owners. Built specifically for Toyota Tacoma models, this grab handle offers a secure grip for entering and exiting the vehicle while also enhancing the rugged appearance of the interior. One of the first things I noticed about the bgucar Driver Side A-Pillar Grab Handle is how sturdy and comfortable it feels once installed. The handle provides excellent support when getting into the truck, especially for lifted Tacomas or vehicles with larger tires that sit higher off the ground. The construction feels durable and well-made, with solid materials that match the rugged nature of the Tacoma. The handle has a secure grip texture that feels comfortable in the hand while maintaining stability during daily use and off-road driving. Installation is another major advantage. The grab handle is designed for a straightforward fit on compatible Toyota Tacoma models, and the included hardware makes the process relatively simple. Most users can complete the installation with basic tools in a short amount of time. Another standout feature is the improved accessibility it provides. Whether climbing into the truck, navigating uneven terrain, or assisting passengers, the handle adds extra confidence and convenience during entry and exit. The design also blends nicely with the Tacoma’s interior styling. It looks like a factory-style upgrade rather than an aftermarket accessory, helping maintain a clean and cohesive appearance inside the cabin. I also appreciate the added functionality during off-road trips and rough driving conditions. The grab handle offers additional stability for the driver when traveling over bumps, trails, or uneven surfaces, making the driving experience feel more secure. The finish and overall appearance are attractive and complement the rugged personality of the Tacoma. It adds a subtle but useful enhancement without looking bulky or out of place. Another benefit is the durability during long-term use. The handle remains firmly mounted without rattling or loosening, even after repeated use and exposure to varying driving conditions. The packaging is organized and includes the necessary mounting components, making installation easier and more convenient. Instructions are generally clear, helping simplify the setup process for first-time installers. For Tacoma owners looking for a functional and stylish interior accessory, the bgucar Driver Side A-Pillar Grab Handle is an excellent option. Its sturdy construction, easy installation, and practical support make it a valuable addition for both daily driving and off-road adventures. After regular use, I’ve been very satisfied with its overall quality and performance. The added support makes entering and exiting the truck easier, while the durable design provides confidence during every drive. Overall, the bgucar Driver Side A-Pillar Grab Handle for Toyota Tacoma is a highly recommended upgrade for drivers seeking improved convenience, support, and interior functionality. Its durable build, secure grip, and factory-style appearance make it a smart addition for enhancing both comfort and usability.

High quality grab handle for 3rd Gen Tacoma
Size: For 3rd Gen Tacoma (2016-2023), Color: Gray, Size: For 3rd Gen Tacoma (2016-2023), Color: Gray
Wanted one of these driver side grab handles for while but could only find it in black. When I saw it available in my trim color immediately ordered it. Installation was a breeze, the fit and color match is absolute perfection with a solid, firm mount. Looks and functions like OEM. This is a high quality, well designed grab handle.

Best Tacoma interior mod hands down!
Size: For 3rd Gen Tacoma (2016-2023), Color: Black, Size: For 3rd Gen Tacoma (2016-2023), Color: Black
One of the best mods you can do for your Tacoma. I love my truck but the biggest gripe for the interior was no grab handle on the driver side. This solves that with a very OEM look. Only took about 5 minutes to install and comes with all the hardware and even tools to do so. It is very sturdy as well. If you’re on the fence about buying it just purchase it! Well worth the money.

Looks Factory, Installs in Minutes
Size: For 3rd Gen Tacoma (2016-2023), Color: Black
This driver-side A-pillar grab handle was exactly what my Tacoma should’ve had from the factory. Installation was genuinely easy. The instructions were clear and straightforward, and while a tool is included, I found a long 10mm socket made the job even faster and easier—especially for getting clean torque without fighting angles. Fitment was spot on with no gaps, rattles, or creaking once installed. The texture and finish match the passenger side perfectly, so it doesn’t scream “aftermarket” at all. It looks OEM because, functionally and visually, it might as well be. Solid feel, sturdy construction, and a big improvement for getting in and out of the truck. Five stars without hesitation.
