I've been looking at rpms, gear ratio's etc, and I've come up with a hybrid trans. I've never had a VW trans apart but used to rebuild manuals, so that is not an issue.

I have a 1.8T EHA trans and a 1.9 EUH trans. I want to use 1-2-3 from the EHA and put them in the EHU case. I find 1st gear is damn near useless, this would give me a lower 1st gear with a better 2-3 spread.

TIA.

Edit, I know the gear ratio's, I need to know if the gears, shafts etc will swap into the EUH trans with the EUH 4th gear.

If they are both 02J trannies, then yes, the gearset from one can go in the case of another. I just rebuilt a hybrid box using a 2001 Argentine shifters and some gears, and a 2003 German case, some gears, output shaft, diff. It was all 02J, so it worked. Surprisingly well, considering they were made on 2 different continents.

iirc 1 and 2 are cut directly into the input shaft, so you can't mix and match them, gotta use 1-2 together from whatever box you choose
the rest all press off the shafts individually so you can use any combination of gears past those two

That works as I need 1 and 2. Thanks.
