Except for maybe the the front shift housing. If it is a T-1 tranny, the axles and axle tubes are shorter. If you are not going for "Concours" with matching numbers, I would do the tranny swap. Finding NOS parts for an early trans could be a problem. But, the internal parts are the same as a T-1. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
