About Blue Tag Transmissions
The following statement by Bill Boudreau, explains & eliminates the confusion & misunderstandings about the "Blue Tag" transmissions.
"According to my ZF Part# to GM Part # cross reference chart, GM P/N 12455188 references to ZF Part# 1052 000 087ZW. ZW designates "Reman" for remanufactured. This number is listed for 1995 LT5 w/Crash-Thru Shifter style. GM part P/N 12455188 will work for all model year ZR-1s. The only noticeable difference will be the absence of the Lift-Ring device on the gear shift lever for those replacing their '90-'94 ZR-1 transmissions." These units are assembled at ZF Industries of North America for GM on a "as needed" basis. GM is clearing their S6-40 inventory through the remanufactured/exchange unit program as "obsolete drive-train inventory clearance". So far all of the 12455189 units that I have disassembled for balancing and blueprinting have been 100% new parts."
Hope this helps.
