Brake fluid *will* "expand" the rubber stuff, - that's for sure. But like
some of the products made for this purpose, - it has no idea when to *quit*
"expanding" things. SO if you ever have to take that transmission apart, -
you're in for the time of your life. Everything (with rubber in it, - which
is a lot of stuff in an automatic transmission) will be (almost) permanently
"seized".
