The factory VW wing nut clutch adjuster slips, slaps your knuckles cold, and never holds the same feel twice. The Six Shooter ends that — for good.
Process — Not Parts — Determines Performance
Six ergonomic finger pockets machined right into the body. One pocket = one click of pedal feel — spin it by hand, lock-in grip, no tool required. That is the upgrade in one sentence.
The original German wing nut was a marginal experience even when new — a 5-out-of-10 on its best day. What is on most cars now is a soft replacement that strips, slips, and feels like a week of not shaving. Try adjusting it cold and you have already met the propeller — that knuckle-slap that earns a Go#$&#)$)*_#@)_*$*it!!! We have all been there. So we built the fix and gave it a name we are not embarrassed about.

Why It Works
Six finger pockets vs. two wing tabs. Triple the contact points. Your fingers lock into the pocket instead of skidding off a soft tab.
Adjusts by hand — cold, hot, or greasy. Contoured grips mean no propeller, no knuckle-slap, no fishing in the toolbox.
Hard metal, not mush. No soft import nut that strips the first time you crank on it.
Roadside repeatable. Spin it by hand, count the pockets, dial back to the feel you set on the lift. No wrench needed.
Pedal target made simple. 1/2" to 3/4" of free play at the top of the pedal — every time, every chassis.
Choose Your Finish
Raw Steel The base. Coat with paint, oil, or anti-seize before install.
Black Zinc Ships ready to install. The crowd favorite.
Stainless Steel Run anti-seize on every adjustment.
Titanium Lightest, hardest, lifetime piece.

Install — Done Right the First Time

This product surprised me! The wing nut adjuster was a pain to adjust but that is part of it. I happen to see this Six Shooter and thought " easier ". Ordered it and put it on and like I said it surprised me. Don't need any tools to adjust it now. The design makes turning it left or right a easy breeze given how much space you have to work with. Well worth the price and I would recommend this 100% to any VW owner!

This company is a great place to get parts from I ordered an aluminum six shooter clutch adjustment nut and they sent me a stainless steel one and then upgraded my shipping on their dime. You can bet your a** I'm shopping here again!!! I give them 5 Gold Stars!!!!!

This adjuster installs in minutes and makes an otherwise frustrating process (turning the stock wingnut) a walk in the park.
I installed the adjuster on my 1966 bus got the clutch cable dialed in within minutes of the installation. I would recommend this product to anyone with an aircooled VW.
NOTHING BUT THE BEST5

The quality of the product is the best you can get, I am assuming they take a lot of pride in the work they do not only for themselves but for us as customer's also. I would not hesitate to buy any product from AIRKEWLD.
I am hoping for additional 3.7 HP from this product.

One of the best ideas in a long time. Talking about making a pain in the ass task easy and simple this little guy does it. Its what VW should have done in the beginning.
So much easier!5

Man, this thing is simple, yet genius. How come it took me so long to find this?! Glad I have it now. No more fighting with pliers and sore fingers just to get a couple of adjustment turns ... thanks guys!
