Not if it's a small amount. The 2 fluids are very close and in an emergency you can use trans in Power Steering on most cars with no ill effects since it basically just used for hydro pressure, HOWEVER YOU CANNOT use power steering fluid in a transmission. If you want to flush it out use a turkey baster and draw it out bit by bit adding and running in short sessions until all fluid exchanged. It is a little wasteful but reservoir doesn't hold that much anyway
