Gearbox Question
This might a Stupid question but i have a twincab and it has reduction hubs fitted in doing this the previous owner has turned the gearbox upside
down.
My question is will the the gear change pattern be the same as right way up or will it be reversed??

It is a 76 bay window.Apparently the gearbox was turned over to get reduction hubs to work properly.

taking a stab in the dark here but im pretty sure reduction hubs spin the opposite way which would be why someone has flipped the gearbox over
in bugs and early kombis u can just flip the R&P gear over to make them spin backwards but apperently this cant be done with later bay boxes
but i wouldnt think that being upside down would affect the pattern
cos its still just the rod movign back to front and clockwise/anticlockwise, i wouldnt think that is gonna change by rolling the box over
