I'm pretty sure Juan was saying "put power steering fluid in the transmission" I'd say that an ounce or two may not do much (if any) harm ,manufacturers recommend specific fluids for specific systems but the voodoo behind what is in a product is limited to the label telling you nothing ( every fluid in the world could be chicken fat for all the manufacturer's label say) Ford use to say use type F transmission fluid in the tranny AND in power steering - voodoo at best!
