Yeah, it is kinda like when GM put  Chevette trannys in their Impalas.  Not
so sure it is a good thing--certainly a money saver for VW.

I was very suprised that the internal ratios, as well as the transaxel, are
the same. Who is to say, you can't run a disiel to 4000 rpm.  The
converter, is just pass through.

Could the table in a bently manual be wrong?

If you don't have one, here is what is says

            Jetta manual
Vanagon manual

1.6 L diesel            1.8l GASOLINE
ME Canada            HT,RD,RV,PF
85 -87

tran
code       010TL            010TNA or TN
090NK

F             3.41                    3.41
2.46


John of Main, says both housing have the same "090"  part number stamped on
them.

Note the vanagon runs larger tires, so the F drives is only 10% lower than
the jetta


I find it interesting how many parts are shared. It sort of makes sense.

  Mr. McNock,

  You know it is strange that the gear ratios is the same for the gas and
diesel engine. It should be different because the gas engine can rev higher
that the diesel engine.

  Would it be the torque converter that would make the difference to enable
the engine to work with that ratio?

  I'm not an expert in tranny but it would be really nice if I could use
the guts of an auto. tranny from a diesel jetta '99 up to transfer into my
Vanagon auto tranny.

  Would you know who I could speak with that would be some kind of
specialist in that area.

  Thanks,

  Michel Bertin

  NB.: Some people on that vanagon list are so rude I just can't believe it
and on top of it they can't even read the questions correctly before
answering with their stupid comments like smoking weed and looking under
the van before questionning.
