I know I have had an engine that develops a tick, this is just a sticky rocker are usually, and adding a quart of automatic transmission oil will cure this. So if you have only put in a small amount, it should not be a problem, but if you have put all Transmission Fluid in, it could be a major problem. If you have put ATF in the engine, it may not provide the proper lubrication and you could have serious damage. If you put gear grease in (from a manual transmission) this is too thick for the engine to handle and problems will arise from this, plus you will have the most un-god-awful smell you have ever smelt.

CREATES A MESS, and gives you a false reading of oil level
350 Engines dont have transmission fluid. The Transmission does. Start the engine, leave the trans in Park, pull the dipstick and look at it. fill to full mark when the engine is fully warned up
you can not mix hydraulic oil in engine oil because if you do a fire will occure and then you will blow up in a million pieces.
Good quality oil, no short runs, always get the engine up to temperature, regular oil and filter changes, regular engine flushes.
If the transmission modulator valve is vacuum operated and it goes bad it can allow the engine to suck transmission fluid thru the engine causing the engine to blow blue smoke out the exhaust.
no not if have shift kit in transmission that it want mess up
Yes you use engine oil in all cars regardless of transmission.
No, changing the size of your rims and tires will not mess up your transmission. It will mess with your gas mileage and your speedometer though.
the oil heats up in the transmission and the gears slide easier check the transmission oil and think of a possible change of oil
Transmission fluid is just oil and will not unfreeze a seized engine.
drain the oil out of the engine via the drain bolt at the lowest point of the engine, then add new engine oil to and run it for a while it get it all mixed up, then drain that oil (just to make sure u got rid of any left over transmission oil) then add new oil and you should be right. If you cant do this let take it to a mechanic, transmission fluid is entirely different to engine oil.
If you mean "engine oil" then I would think that a seal has failed between the transmission unit and the "engine" Other than that maybe someone put or topped up the transmission fluid in the wrong location. Change of oil is required any way
Yes it can
Pull the skid plate from under the engine off. makes access easier but isn't required. there is a bolt on the bottom of the transmission/crank housing. open that up and oil should come pouring out. careful when putting it back that you don't over tighten as you will mess up the threads and then you're SOL.

No. A belly pan on most Jeeps refers to the pan that is essentially the transmission crossmember, that is to say it is the assembly that the transmission sits on via the transmission mount that holds the transmission up into the vehicle, and also kind of doubles as a rock guard or "skid plate". The oil pan is the bottom half of the engine or transmission that holds the oil for the engine or transmission.
Depending on the definition of "mess up", two quarts low is enough to make it act poorly, and most likely not upshift.
