Most cars that call for normal Power Steering fluid can take Transmission Fluid as a substitute but there are exceptions. Hondas MUST use power steering fluids that meet Honda's spec and must never use ATF. German cars must use Pentosin mineral oil that costs about $50 per litre. Some cars specify Dexron-III/Mercon ATF for their power steering systems like Nissan and Toyota. Just remember to NEVER use Ford Type-F ATF, only fluids that meet or exceed the Dexron-III/Mercon spec can be used as a substitute in vehicles that specify "power steering fluid".
