So... as the title says. I accidentally added fuel cleaner to my transmission, which is currently leaking (meant to add stop leak as a temp fix if it worked).

I grabbed the wrong bottle and didn’t catch myself and now I poured cleaner into my system.

I couldn’t find anything online about what damages, if any, this will cause or if I can just ride it out and be fine. Or change transmission fluid immediately.

Thanks for any information!

You should drain this immediately.

The solvents may very well damage the seals etc in the transmission - you don’t make it clear if it is an auto or not.

So, drain, then refill and run for a bit then drain and refill again.

If you have not run it yet, that is even better...
