Yes it can. Certain auto manufacturers design their transmissions to use certain formulas of tranny fluids - using another brand may not have all the special ingredients that are required for proper flow and protection. Seems silly, but it's the way it is with automobiles. Use what is required from the get-go.

If you put the wrong transmission fluid in what do you do?
Depending on how long and how much you have ran the car with the wrong fluid. If you have not ran the car since putting the fluid in just drain the fluid and flush the wrong stuff out with the right stuff and then refill the trans. With the wrong fluid in it and being run you would need to take the car to a technician to see if there is damage to the car.
