The Switch Shaft for Stihl MS201T is a genuine Stihl control component designed to restore smooth, positive operation of the chainsaw's switch mechanism. Manufactured to OEM specification (MPN 1145 180 0900), it is a robust, moulded polymer shaft that transmits motion within the control system so the machine starts, runs and stops as intended.
