What do I do if I put motor oil in my transmission?
The solution is to immediately remove the transmission oil pan, let everything thoroughly drain out, replace the filter, re-install the pan and refill with new (preferably synthetic) transmission fluid. Run the car for a day and then repeat that operation just to be sure that no traces of engine oil remain.

While ATF may not be corrosive to the bands, clutches and gaskets in an automatic transmission, it is corrosive to carbon (which is good, and why it cleans the engine) and has been shown to affect the rubber O-rings used to seal the rotor housings together, as well as the o-rings used on the oil seals.

What is the most likely cause of pink milky transparent transmission fluid?

Why is transmission oil black?
Nearly black or black transmission fluid means the fluid is old, very dirty, contaminated, and if paired with a burnt toast smell, has oxidized. At this point, your transmission is telling you something is wrong. If your transmission is showing signs of slipping or hesitation, repair or replacement may be in order.
