I am looking for a spreadsheet on 334 transmissions

Hello Renault People.
I am debating on swapping the transmission of my 1123 for some lower gearing.
I currently have a 354/ HAO transmission. On a previous thread I was given a nice spreadsheet of what HAO I can use on what model with what gearing ratio.
On a different sheet I found online it says I can also use 334 transmissions.
Does anybody know where I could find a similar spreadsheet on what models of that gearbox would fit what model car and what gear ratios they'd have?
Thank you in advance.
 
Hallo Wolf!
get yourself a gearbox from a F4 /R2106) Shorter 1. gear -rest is same as yours... -I've got Complete ones All ok/All working but in Norway..
-Saddle up your campervan... Go Norwegen!

I don't really think that's the way for me. She often struggles on hills on faster roads in top gear, too, to a point, that I need to shift down which I would like to avoid.
I did, matter off fact, saddle up my r 4 and went to Norwegen. It ended with a snowchain shredding a break line.
For now, I've had enough driving in the snow
Any non car related activity was wonderful though.
 
There was only one gear set for the 334 transmission:
1st: 3.800:1
2nd: 2.059:1
3rd: 1.364:1
4th: 1,036:1
Final drive was 4.125:1, no options available here, too.

You may need to upgrade to a larger engine or fine-tune your current engine, R4's where specifically made for hills, mountains and harsh conditions that's why the engine, gearbox, suspension, cabin heating and chairs are the best parts.
In the 80's and 90's with my GTL (90.000 km every year) I've driven almost every thinkable mountain pass in Europe (when Europe was still Europe with a lovely Iron curtain) in summer and winter conditions with snowtyres and sometimes snowchains.
Shift down on hills/mountains is a must because the B and C engines need high refs to perform and they perform beautifully either hill up or hill down.

I don't think changing the gearbox is the solution just to obtain a small advantage in just 1 gear.

Upgrading the engine unfortunately is kind of out of the question for me too. The process for legalizing an engine swap where I am from is expensive and tedious to a point where it would probably be easier to just get a GTL.
However I would be interested in how I could finde tune my engine?
