<VV> VW transaxle to Corvair?

[Matt Nall]

Are you referring  to the gear reduction transporters?  They had a
two-gear gear reduction unit at the hub for increased ground clearance
and a bit more power (remember the old, slow VW bus?) & it was my
understanding that this was with a factory reversed  differential 
rather
than a different unit for these rigs. Is this correct?
=====================================

   No, Bill  the reduction boxes reveres the wheel rotation..  VW  
flipped the Ring gear...

   Bottom line...    Normal / design rotation is always better....  just 
in the case of VW's... they work well runnng on the coast sides..

Lower the HP  of the engine and lower vehicle weight make a big 
difference on longevity as well..
