[QUOTE="naskeet, post: 634832, member: 15903"] To the best of my knowledge, the 1968~79 VW 1600 Type 2 & 1972~73 VW 1700 Type 2 transaxles, already have a 0•82 ratio 4th gear, whilst the 1974~75 VW 1800 Type 2 & 1976~79 VW 2000 Type 2 transaxles, have a 0•89 ratio 4th gear, which is closer to 3rd gear. However, the 1974~75 VW 1800 Type 2 & 1976~79 VW 2000 Type 2 transaxles have numerically smaller final-drive ratios than that of the 1968~79 VW 1600 Type 2 & 1972~73 VW 1700 Type 2 transaxles. At a given road speed (with the same tyre size) in 4th gear, a 1973 VW 1600 Type 2 transaxle gives virtually the same engine RPM as a 1974~75 VW 1800 Type 2 transaxle. However, a 1976~79 VW 2000 Type 2 transaxle would give about 5% lower RPM. [/QUOTE]
