The only difference is that the blue label unit only functions in 4th gear, not 3rd and 4th. Maybe you should try disabling the lockout switch.

But really, one wonders about the competency of a shop which couldn’t fix one OD unit, opting to install another unit — what makes one think that would work?

I have a 1972 OD transmission (dipstick) but the OD is the newer blue label. Will this actually work? It does not at present and my next step was to check the oil pump (need to fabricate a tool to get the plug off).

That was their fix after the transmission sat in their shop for several years so they didn’t charge me for it. Everything works except OD.
