Transmission Fluid is a slippery liquid that acts as a lubricant for all of the moving parts inside your transmission. In an automatic transmission, this fluid also serves as a coolant and a viscous fluid that transmits power from the engine to the transmission. Motor oil is a lubricant used in internal combustion engine. they must be put in specific proportions.

Is it okay to put brake fluid in your transmission to stop a leak?

No!Transmissions use transmission fluid, which has a very different specification of oils and chemical additives to brake fluid. It is also quite different to engine oil.Brake fluids should ONLY be used for braking systems. As there are at least two different kinds of brake fluid, it is important to use the right kind for your vehicle's brakes!Engine oils should ONLY be used for engines. As there are many different kinds of engine oil, it is important to use the right kind for your vehicle's engine!If you have a leak in your transmission (meaning Gear box? Propeller shaft? Differential?) you must first flush out the old fluid - which may be contaminated with dirt from being "open" to dirt flung up from the road - then be sure to get the leak fixed before you re-fill with the right kind of transmission fluid for your vehicle.
