Good comments.
Thanks guys.
The reason I asked about them is because I don't know anything about 094's.
I like to learn and I like options.
Are all 094's built for 4WD or are some 2WD ??
Are they just a 6 rib with two output shafts ??
In stock form are they any stronger than other transaxles ??
On big hills I don't know if it would help unless u were front heavy 40/60.
I can see it helping in swamps and small hills if the buggy was more traditionally
balanced to maybe help keep the front end climbing up on top of the mud/sand and
not having to plow thru it.
I don't know cause I haven't tried it. its all just guess work.
Thanks
Some of the vw transmission parts vendors are calling the water-cooled rear engine
vanagon (and syncros) "094". Others call the 2wd transmission 091-1 and the
4wd "094".
The 1st 091-1 is a 6 rib 091 with the shifter moved to the side of the nose. The 2nd
091-1 water-cooled moved the shifter to the side of the case and moved reverse
gear all of the way forward.
Syncro is the 2nd 091-1 with a long pinion shaft and a boss for a locker, which gives
the case a new part number that starts with "094".
