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.

Is it okay to soak brake fluid out of the car as opposed to leak?
When soaking the brake fluid out of a reservoir, make sure to use as lint free of a cloth as is possible. If lint or debris gets into the brake system then brake problems can occur.
Where do you fill the clutch fluid and can brake fluid be used to fill it?
Do you mean the clutch master cylinder or transmission fluid? They both will be under the hood, the clutch master cylinder will more than likely be on the drivers side near the dash and will say what type of fluid to put in (dot 3) and will say clutch master cylinder. Just open the plastic cap when the fluid is cool and fill to the fill line. I believe as long as the brake fluid says dot 3 or whatever type you need it's okay to use. As for transmission fluid, do NOT use brake fluid for that, buy regular transmission fluid

When pressing the brakes the pedal goes all the way to the floor?
You have a leak in the brake system, need to check the medal brake lines that run through the frame rail and goes to the back wheels, It is common for those to rust into towards the back. If lines are okay then check the wheel cylinders. If you are not low on brake fluid then you probley have a bad master cylinder.

How can I determine if the dashboard brake light indicator flickering in a 1996 Ford Contour is a brake problem or a problem with the indicator light?
First check that the alternator is working normally. Then, check that all four wheels have braking when lifted off of the ground and brake pedal depressed and transmission in neutral. Next, check that transmission fluid level is normal. After that check that the parking brake applies and releases normally. If all of the above are okay, the problem is likely a problem with the light and not the brakes.
Where do you add transmission fluid on 94 Plymouth sundance?
Okay, You know where the transmission fluid dipstick is? You get a funnel, and pour the transmission fluid right into the little tube you pulled the dipstick out of. Be sure to have the car running when you check the transmission fluid level; if the car is turned off you will get false readings. (Remember though that the oil can only be accurately checked when the car is not running.)
The transmission in your car is slip after the fluid was warm how can you fix it?
Be sure cooling fan for radiator is kicking in. Since radiator also cools transmission fluid. Also, be sure fluid levels are okay. Sometimes the simple things can cause the biggest problems.
