<VV> Transaxle tech/ opinions

[Jeff Wilson]

Okay, this may stir up a hornets nest, but....

I often hear that the 66 and up 'Saginaw' trannys
are strong/ superior than the earlier models, but
are the 66-up transaxles any better than the 64/ 65
models?

I think the transaxle in my 65 is wearing out (lots of
high-pitch whine on acceleration/ engine braking) so I'm
thinking of replacing it outright.

Does a 66-up model mate with the 65 transmission (I think
the tranny is fine)?
