I stand corrected. The spline area is longer not more splines. Snowbum has all the information you ever wanted to know about transmissions and the variations over the years.

Yeah, snowbum has all you ever wanted to know, and more!  :)

The early first version boxes had a longer input shaft spline section (14mm), newer ones are 9mm.

Yes... I´m still reading stuff about it...
some guys says that if a rebuild is done on one of the "new" style boxes, it is possible to have them installed on an "old" style engine along with the necessary parts... some jut say is not possible...

The good news is that, along with the reading process and your knowledge, I learn... which is the ultimate goal!!!

It is possible to put the new style guts in an older box, but the new style rear cover will be needed. That, and the newer style clutch and clutch carrier. The old heavy flywheel will have to go.
