What happens if you put a little automatic transmission fluid in engine oil?

It is possible to thin the engine oil far enough that it loses it's lubricating ability and could cause irrepairable harm to the engine. Engine oil lubricates. Transmission oil is designed to run through a pump as it lubricates. An automatic transmission is a pump. Totally different from the oil pump found in an engine.

What is A torque converter?
a major part of an automatic transmission... A torque converter is what couples the engine to the transmission. It acts a little bit like a clutch and allow the engine to drive the transmission. At slow engine speeds, like at idle, it slips so the engine will not stall while the transmission is in gear. As engine speed (RPM) increases it allows the engine to drive the transmission. This is just the basic idea of what a torque converter does.
How do you add transmission oil in a previa?
Automatic transmission fluid is added through the transmission dipstick tube which is located under the driver's seat. Release the driver's seat and open the engine access cover. The engine oil dipstick is also located here. Remove the Automatic transmission dipstick, use a funnel and add fluid slowly, a little at a time. Do not overfill. Make sure you use proper type of automatic transmission fluid. Make sure vehicle is on level surface and warmed up when checking. Also, refer to your owner's manual for proper procedure to check your transmission fluid. Engine may need to be running with transmission in park or neutral. Be sure to use your emergency brake. Automatic transmission fluid expands as it gets hot, so better to add a little than a lot.

Does manual gear shift offer greater power than an automatic transmission car?
The engine has the same power no matter the transmission. However with an automatic transmission more of the available power is lost due to the torque converter and the transfer of fluid to torque. But in modern cars today it is very little, so get an automatic if that is what you want. A manual transmission does provide more power to the drive wheels but it comes at a penalty. You must shift it yourself.

Can you change a manual transmission car into an automatic transmission?
You cant change the actual manual transmission into an Auto howeverr you can take out the manual and put in an automatic transmission instead. You can but it will take time and can carry a high price. The 'simplest' way is to get the equivalent engine/gearbox as a complete unit and do the transplant. If you can get a donor vehicle so much the better. There are always those little bits you need that are difficult to source.
