Dude your tranny is as good as gone if you put ATF >>>AUTOMATIC Transmission Fluid in there.

Unless your having trouble with is I'd leave it alone.

ATF was proven long ago to not have sufficient shear strength for use in a manual transmission. That's why the transmission manufacturers switched away from it, though it used to be specified during a time transmission manufacturers were trying to standardize on just one lubricant.
