I once read that transmission fluid had some stickiness or some other quality that makes it suitable to transfer the torque, and it said that property might be bad for a power steering system. Most other people said it's fine, though. Another guy told me that actual PS fluid will hurt the seals more than the ATF will. I got confused as well when I tried to find the actual Dextron III substitute, since there are lots of Dextrons. What's the difference between them? I don't really know much about the fluids.
Thanks
