I think you'd have to change all of them because they use different types of tranny oil. The non-moly ribbed syncros call for Shell Dentax and the newer moly syncros call for Spirax (sp?). I think the change occured around '66-'67. Are you sure that you currently have non-moly syncros? I think the non-molys have a yellow sticker on the tranny case and the molys have a red sticker. I'm interested in the responses on this as well. I have a couple of each type and am wondering what parts are useable and what's just garbage.
