Ring and Pinion flip?

I have a 16 Valve 1.8 engine in an off-road sand rail, and I am having problems keeping transmissions together. I have heard a rumor that the Audi 4000 or Audi 5000 Ring and Pinion can be flipped over inside of the transmission case to make the transmission run backwards. This would create 4 reverse gears and 1 forward gear if the trans were to be left in the stock vehicle, however would enable the transmission to be able to be mounted in the rear of the sand rail instead of the front, with the engine in the back of the car. Is there anybody that can confirm that this can be done? OR- Is there a transmission that is known to bolt up to the 16 Valve 1.8 that this can be done to? Thanks in advance!
