It's not a big deal. I would drain it out and replace all the oil (and filter if you ran it). It may smoke for a little but won't hurt anything. If it's a high mile car it may even clean it out a little bit! Good Luck!

What happens if transmission fluid gets in your gas tank?

Your car will run (poorly) during that tank of gas and it will smoke like crazy while the transmission fluid goes through the engine. Secondarily, the transmission fluid (being very high in detergents and cleaners) will clean your injectors and top end of your cylinders quite nicely. Not a recommended way to clean them, but if you get it in there accidentally that will be the silver lining.
