I was sure I had read somewhere that the Audi automatic transaxle can be reversed quite easily rather than flipping the 'box, but at the time I dismissed it as I dont generally like automatic cars.
Recently I started coming round to the thought that a 1.9 or 2.5 tdi auto would probably be quite nice in a camper and a whole lot easier than making adapters or cutting and welding bell housings.
So, I did a bit of googling and found this:

Anybody getting thoughts about using an autobox now...?
The new gear housing would be pretty easy to make, but I dont know about the gears _________________ It WILL be ready for the summer, just like it was going to be ready for last summer. And the one before that...

Interesting stuff like yourself I would never consider an auto but as I get older it seems like a nice idea... It does sound like the gears are the weak point. _________________ 1971 Devon Bay with 1800 Ford Turbo Diesel Engine (wip)
