No idea on how old it actually is/was prior to the swap as I've only had the car 5 years.

Thanks looks like my new one is like everyone elses, and the old one is the bad one.

I woud not install it until I got some assurance that it is correct for the Alfa. Way too much trouble to R & R a transmission just because some dummy sold you the wrong piece. Never assume that the parts you were sold are correct just because some low paid parts counterman pushed it across the counter or made up your shipment.
