Reply to "Transmission question"

The VW swing arm transmission can be reveresed by a fairly simple process called "flipping". The differential carrier and the attached ring gear are removed, turned around, and reinstalled. This should be done with a special tool that allows measurement of the ring gear to pinion mesh as well as the propper fitting of shims to control that mesh. This "flipped" version was used in VW busses for many years by the factory as they had reduction boxes that reverses the direction, So, this flipped version is also called a bus configuration.
