No, 90 weight will not kill your transmission.  90 weight has a viscosity
similar to 50 weight motor oil.  Although on the heavy side, it will not
kill it.  Also, there is nothing wrong with using gear oil in the
transmission

Well, before I put the engine and transmission back in the B yesterday, I
got smart and said, 'Let me fill the transmission back up
with fluid now, while it's easy to get at!'. Good idea, but I confused the
90w oil for the steering rack with engine oil, and filled the
transmission with the 90w. It's easily-enough changed but am wondering if
the 90w will kill the (non-OD) transmission or if I really
need to change it?

Thx....
