I found their web site and copied the following These are just some of the products we have available to suit VW. Types 13, 002 and 091 1st gear ratios 2nd 3rd 4th 4.38:1 to 2.58:1 2.62:1 to 1.58:1* 2.05:1 to 1.00:1* (**) (***) 1.50:1 to 0.64:1 We have over 100 ratios available for Volkswagen!! For North American enquiries, Contact Weddle Engineering Phone 562 598 2731 Fax 562 598 8191 Eric Co 909 689 4430 909 689 2640 We require distributors for UK and continental Europe If the product you require is not listed, contact us now! *requires special primary shaft ** require special bearing kit ***standard ratio The site says to contact weddle here in the NA. Does anyone know if weddle will sell just a 4th gear set? Making 4th a little taller maybe cheaper than going to 15 inch wheels and tires. Albins mention they have 4th gear sets as tall as 0.64 Stock on our 091 transaxles is 0.85. On the surface this looks pretty good for those of us with a stock 2.2L. 3rd and 4th gears are reasonable easy and cheap to change ( they don't require any shaft replacement) I have inquired to their 3rd and 4th gear optional ratios for the 091.
