Transmission Fluid acts like a 'detergent oil'... only more so! it will most likely decarbonize your engine. Sometimes this is a good thing depending on how many miles are on the engine, however, if the engine has high milage the fluid is likely to disolve the carbon build up in the piston -ring grooves, this may cause the engine to start passing oil past the rings into the combustion chamber (burn oil). In any case, it is a lubricant and will not harm the engine's components.... Since the viscosity of the fluid may not be within the manufactures specs for engine application,....best change the oil to be on the safe side.

Have it cleaned out and flushed immediately
What if you put transmission fluid in the engine instead of the transmission by mistake?
You should drain the oil in the engine. Put engine oil back in the engine because the transmission oil is not made for engines and will hurt the moving parts of the engine if left in.

You need to get the trans fluid changed immediatley
If you Accidentally poured a small amount transmission fluid instead of motor oil will it cause damage?
Do you mean into the engine? If so it depends on how little; a quart is too much for a small engine. There wouldn't be any immediate damage but change the oil before running the car again.

NO!!!! do not do this, oil is oil, transmission fluid is transmission fluid, and antifreeze is antifreeze, do not mix any of these, it can perminately damage your engine.
