Yep, same-same. That 3-speed dual-planetary gear auto tranny unit was
used in a whole bunch of VW and Audi vehicles in the 70's and 80's.
All they did was change the reverse ring gear hub, fill tube location,
and/or drill & tap the case for the cooler. I had an amusing lesson in
this a few years ago <http://bange.us/Vanagon/hub/index.htm>
