CONVERSEly, I have used tranny fluid in my more modern PS pumps.
Seems I learned about using ATF when I was driving my first car that
had PS, a 57 NewYorker, and that car lead me to my first 300-C.
Since then I have used it every time I had a PS pump that needed
fluid added. They all ran fine for as long as I had the vehicle.
It was a long time before I was aware that maybe I should be using
Power Steering fluid, but so far I have not bought any to learn if
it makes a difference.
