Default Re: Your ZF6 makes noises or won't shift, what to do?

The difference is in the transmissions internals and isn't necassarily ID'd by the "color of the tag"! '94 cars have "lift rings" for reverse and are I believe the last of the "black tag" transmissions but the internals are not to be confused with the early 610Nm transmissions.
The build needs to be "confirmed" from the ZF tag ID on the transmissions.
The whole "lift ring" vs. "no lift ring" has nothing to do with the transmission. That particular feature lives in the shifter assembly.
You can transplant a lift ring shifter into a blue tag quite easily.

If you re-read my original post you will notice that I didn't say "All Blue Tags Don't Have Lift Rings", I quite clearly said "The Later Model ZF6's Don't Have Lift Rings".
