Is it true the 091 side shift isn't as strong as the nose shift?

No

Which side shift tranny?
Air or water cooled?

There is a difference.

Air cooled is exactly like the 091 end shift.
Water cooled has a much stronger reverse setup.

Is there a way to tell the difference?

Look through the "Transmission for Dummies" thread stickied at the top of the page.

Very 1st post shows the difference.

You looked at this thread?

Second picture down is an air cooled side shift Vanagon, 3rd picture is the water cooled version.
Notice where the shifter attaches.
That is the difference.
