Can the wrong transmission fluid damage my transmission?

Answer:

Yes it can. Certain auto manufacturers design their transmissions to use certain formulas of tranny fluids - using another brand may not have all the special ingredients that are required for proper flow and protection. Seems silly, but it's the way it is with automobiles. Use what is required from the get-go.
