lol I knew they came in different containers for a reason hehehe
This is an old trick to stop a leak. When you buy power steering stop leak what do you think is added to it to stop the leak? The same additive in trans fluid that helps swell the seals and prevents it from leaking as easily.
In short YES you can use it. In fact some cars actualy use GM auto trans fluid as their
the power steering fluid from the factory. It won't hurt anything, helps stop leaks, and costs much less.

Glad to hear it Stolen. Has it stopped your leak totaly or just slowed it way down?
Also can you share any adverse affects that some people may have in their minds.
Sometimes haveing a seperate person give testamony can help others make up thier minds.

No - My odometer had just rolled over 100,000 miles and I wanted to get rid of the old brown fluid. Now it is nice and red!
my 89 cavy came stock with transmission fluid in the power steering.
Well Max it would seem you have your answer. Where PS fluid is what belons there
tranny fluid won't hurt a thing.
