Tips on Buying Cars: 1984 Chevy C-10, power steering fluid, chevy c

Question
I am looking at this truck. Power steering fluid put in automatic transmission by mistake. It seems to run fine. Any problems to expect?

Answer
Actually, if the transmission is working fine right now, a good transmission flush should take care of it.  I wouldn't buy it though until you have someone drop the transmission pan and check for excessive clutch material and metal.  If all looks about normal, new transmission fluid should do the trick.  Just to be on the safe side, I'd do it again in about 1,000 miles.

Good luck!
