I don't see anything in the parts list to indicate a changeover date. Some of 
those parts changed in early 66, but others did not, so I suspect that VW 
introduced the new alloy without changing the part #.

If this were my '66 I'd change the fluid, because you can't be sure that the 
tranny hasn't been rebuilt with later synchros. Come to think of it, this WAS 
my '66, so maybe you'd better come over here and let me change it for you.

;-)

Russ, do you remember any of this? The alloy change part of Bob's reply 
came as a complete surprise to me.
