Ted,

Look again!

I said I believe cars thru '94 have production "black tags"! I said "true blues" were used I believe in maybe only '95 + cars and are the only "crash thru" boxes. Check and I'm quite sure you will find the ZF-047('93) box is a 540Nm box with a "black tag" and a ZF-081('94) box is a 540Nm also with a "black tag"!

The statment : "93 1/2 + are "blue tag" is faulted, it could/should state they're 540Nm boxes!

I'm not disputing a lift ring couldn't be removed! There are I believe three components that make the "blue tag" shifter unique: the lever, the cardan joint, and the primary shift shaft. These three pieces are used in only 087 & 089 builds that are in '95 + cars.

Maybe more simply stated: Not all "black tags" are 610 Nm (450 ft lbs) but ALL "blue tags" are 540 Nm (400 ft lbs)!

The build determines the trans to be 610Nm vs 540Nm "NOT THE COLOR OF THE TAG"!! I believe that to be "FACT"!!
