Thank you very much @Teeroy. :thumbsup:
Much appreciated. My Birth certificate says built December 1965, so I'm guessing that's not the original gearbox, unless VW made this one well in advance and already had it in stock when my Beetle was made ? :D |

No, that's actually a 1966 transaxle. The person above was looking at the engine number list.
The monthly log of transaxle serial numbers ended in JUN 1965. Only a few scattered entries in the book of Progressive Refinements give some other reference points after that. Both the chassis number given and the transaxle serial number would fall in the middle of the 1966 model year. |

| My apologies, was looking at list with my phone, missed the column shift. Still the same gear ratios I listed on the 66 gearbox |
