re synchro identification

The earlier synchros have a number of grooves running along their circumference, much like a decorative bracelet.

the newer synchros are smooth surfaced, with a sllightly rough feel to the touch.

newer synchros on older transmissions--like my 63 guilia spider five speed--require different sleeves and other bits called straps and quadrants or else won't work correctly.
