It's okay as long as you flush it out soon. It's the same type of oil but not as thick and has detergent qualities.. so it can clean your engine out a bit.. just have your oil drained and refilled soon.

What happens if transmission fluid gets in your gas tank?

Your car will run (poorly) during that tank of gas and it will smoke like crazy while the transmission fluid goes through the engine. Secondarily, the transmission fluid (being very high in detergents and cleaners) will clean your injectors and top end of your cylinders quite nicely. Not a recommended way to clean them, but if you get it in there accidentally that will be the silver lining.
