Post subject:  Has anyone got problems using ATF in power steering?

Has anyone got problems using ATF in power steering? The manual tells not to use ATF in power steering. The guy who owned the car before me used ATF. I changed the Chrysler power steering fluid in the reservoir but some ATF remained, fluid beeing now slightly red. It smels burned but it haven't leaked. I have driven about 20k after I changed the fluid. Should I flush the system? Chrysler power steering fluid costs a lot here in Finland (about 20 dollars/quarter), so is it okay to use ATF instead.

I would not use ATF in my power steering pmp unless it is specified, like on my 75 Ford, it uses Type F ATF. Just go to any parts place and get a bottle of plain-jane power steering fluid (NOT stop leak). It does'nt always have to be Chrysler made to work, unless it is heat control valve solvent.
