Yep, that's spot on!

You might need to wait for a couple of hundred miles to feel the benefit of new fluid. I reckon taking a look at the B cover is a good idea though, your symptoms sound very likely to be that.

If you do open up the B4 valve housing, I would have the parts ready and just do the job, even if the valve and cover look OK. The parts are not dear!
