Subject:Transaxle differences: 1.9 vs 2.1
From:Jim Huskins
Date:Thu, 15 Jan 2004 17:00:42 -0500

A reputable source with lots of VW transaxle experience tells me that
he thinks VW may have changed some gear ratios when they enlarged the
motor, but this person cannot remember for sure. Do any of you know if
this is true, and if so, exactly what those changes are?

More importantly, if such changes exist, would they adversely affect
swapping an '85 transaxle into an '89 van?

TIA
