[AJD] YET ANOTHER dumb question

[John & Jan Paur]

I am sure the viscosity is OK.  What year is your B?  I have heard that some 
of the additives in the newer GL-5 trans. oils are corrosive to the colored 
(brass/bronze) bushings in the older transmissions.  I'm not an oil expert, 
someone who knows oils care to comment?  John
