Oh man not good, brake fluid eats paint and its very toxic where it will eat up your rings and damage your tranny guts if you have done that drain it asap, other then that they are very different fluids tranny serves as coolant, lubricant, and hydralic, its thin and brake fluid just pushes your caliper pistons on pads that are applyed to your rotors and is much thicker so you dont want to mix those 2.
You are very welcome.
What else can I help you with?
Does a 1989 jeep cj7 take brake fluid and transmission fluid or just transmission fluid?
The brake system uses brake fluid and the trans uses trans fluid.
What happens if you accidentally pour transmission fluid into brake fluid?
Accidentally pouring transmission fluid into the brake fluid reservoir is a serious mistake and can have detrimental effects on your vehicle's braking system. Transmission fluid and brake fluid serve completely different purposes and have distinct properties. Transmission fluid is designed for lubricating and cooling the transmission components, while brake fluid is crucial for the proper functioning of the braking system. Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid that transmits force within the brake system, and it has specific properties to withstand high temperatures. If transmission fluid is added to the brake fluid reservoir: Loss of Brake Functionality: Transmission fluid is not suitable for use in the brake system, and it lacks the necessary properties for hydraulic braking. Mixing the two can compromise the integrity of the brake fluid, leading to a loss of braking functionality. Damage to Brake Components: Brake seals, hoses, and other components are not designed to handle transmission fluid. The introduction of transmission fluid can lead to damage to these components, resulting in brake system failure. Reduced Braking Performance: Transmission fluid may cause the brake fluid to become less effective, leading to reduced braking performance. This compromises the safety of the vehicle and increases the risk of accidents. If such an error occurs, it is crucial to address it immediately: Do Not Drive: Refrain from driving the vehicle as compromised brake functionality poses a significant safety risk. Professional Inspection: Seek the assistance of a qualified mechanic to inspect and flush the entire brake system. Flushing involves removing the contaminated fluid and replacing it with the correct brake fluid. Component Replacement: Depending on the severity of the contamination, brake components may need to be replaced to ensure the safety and reliability of the braking system. In summary, mixing transmission fluid with brake fluid can lead to severe consequences, and it is essential to rectify the mistake promptly by seeking professional assistance to prevent safety hazards and potential damage to the vehicle.
