Is that automatic transmission fluid or manual transmission fluid or exactly
what kind of tranny fluid?

Years ago just after high school several of my friends and myself messed with
Moris Minor 1000's. We had one with a particularly dirty engine, and one of
my friends had heard that tranny fluid would clean it out. I put in a quart
at the oil change and ran the car gently for about 100 miles, then drained
the
engine oil. What came out was mud. Another short oil change with regular
oil
only and that turned out to be one of the best engines in the group of cars
we
had. Tranny fluid is a very good gentle cleanser for the inside of your
engine.
