Do NOT use transmission fluid in your power steering. It is designed for automatic transmissions, and a few rare manual transmissions only. (1965 Plymouth "Slant Six" manual transmission used automatic transmission fluid). In most Chrysler products made after about 2002, ATF is what they use for power steering fluid.

ATF - made especially for Ford trannys Use Type F in 60's era automatic transmissions. The power steering system uses the same stuff BTW.
No The automatic transmissions in a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT take : Motorcraft MERCON - V - ATF ( automatic transmission fluid ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The power steering and the transfer case take : Motorcraft MERCON ATF
Automatic transmissions use a fluid to transfer power to the drive train, not quite as positive a power transfer as a standard transmission, most automatic transmissions don't have as many gear selections to select optimum engine rpm ranges for certain tasks, they don't automatically disengage when coming to a stop, therefore causing more wear on the braking system, and they are heavier , causing higher fuel consumption. However they are easier to operate , in stop and go traffic, for beginners learning to drive , and for people with physical limitations.
Honda Automatic transmissions use an internal filter that is designed for the life of the transmission. It is extremely rare that one would have to be changed. Also do not do a power flush on a Honda transmission as it will ruin the internal seals.
The flywheel from an engine standpoint is used to balance the Crankshaft and keep it moving through centrifugal force. From a transmission standpoint, it used as a mounting point for the clutch (manual transmissions) or the torque converter (automatic transmissions) and aids in the transfer of power from the engine to the transmission and down the rest of the drivetrain.
Fluid couplings are used extensively in automatic transmissions. This allows the car to stop while still remaining in gear. Also used for the smoothness that transfers the power from the driver to the driven member very smoothly in various power equipment.
RF Power stage
in some cases...but automatic shifts faster than most manual drivers ;) yes that is true but manual delivers more power due to manual transmissions using a completely mechanical connection to transfer power from the fly wheel to the tranny... if you have any questions just ask but you are rght on the first one but not talking about shifting the manual delivers more power because on an automatic power is lost going through a torque converter because of the liquid connection
Toyota Camry 83-91 Dexron II Automatic Transmission Fluid in automatic and manual transmissions, but the V6 and All-wheel uses API GL-5 SAE 80W90W gear oil. The power steering fliud is the same Dexron II as above.
