The point is..........the seals are already compromised..........and you're going to change the seals.

With brand new seals, the point is moot. The ATF won't compromise the new seals for quite a long time...........if at all.

And, if you mix ATF with PS fluid, you haven't avoided that compromise of seals if it does exist.
