Hold on, VW transaxle serial numbers are fairly well documented into the mid 1960s. Are you not seeing the Rear Axle column in the chart up through 1965? and some Notes the following years?

Note, they may state some letters before the serial number, but in the early 60s, what was stamped into the transaxle was just the number. The chart says A(B) just to say they are talking about the synchronized Deluxe model transaxles and not the ancient split case no-syncrho tranny found on non-USA Standard models.

I do not know how to fix this. All I can say is it all works fine for me with what I use, Firefox. |
