There are usually people on the Seattle Craigslist parting out Vanagons.
Just go to "auto parts" and enter "Vanagon."

There is a yard in Olympia posting now:

Subject: good junk yards in the Seattle area looking for front shift rod

Hi guys Im looking for a front shift rod for my 1990 vanagon manual
transmission.  One of the metal ears is broken off.   Does anyone know of a
good junk yard in the seattle area for stuff like this?

Or is it catch as catch can?

Thank you.

Art.
