A while back there was a thread on tranny/ diff oil and the use of GL-4 oil
instead of GL-5.  Something to do with "yellow metal" (bronze or brass
parts).  I had trouble finding GL-4 and the Valvoline stuff I put in says it
meets GL-4 and GL-5.  I did try draining some oil from the tranny and
siphoned out some oil from the diff and I didnt see any specs of metal as
some have suggested.

I have a later non-OD TR-6.  Does anyone known if the tranny and/or diff
have yellow metal parts that I need to be concerned about?
