Depending on how long and how much you have ran the car with the wrong fluid. If you have not ran the car since putting the fluid in just drain the fluid and flush the wrong stuff out with the right stuff and then refill the trans. With the wrong fluid in it and being run you would need to take the car to a technician to see if there is damage to the car.

What if you use the wrong type of oil?

Well, if you only used a different grade of oil, like 10W-30 instead of 5W-30, everything should be fine 'til the next oil change. If you put the wrong type of transmission fluid in your transmission, like Dexron/Mercon instead of Chrysler ATF+4, get the fluid changed and transmission flushed immediately; incorrect transmission fluid type can ruin your transmission. If you put oil in your transmission, or transmission fluid in your brake fluid, or brake fluid in your power steering pump or engine (or any other variation of fluid confusion that may exist), you may be in for some costly repairs. Get the suspect system flushed and fluid changed as soon as possible.
