    Transmission fluid in tilt and trim?

    Had an emergency last weekend and had to put ATF in my tilt and trim. Google said it would work... It did! My question is now, what should i do when i replace the seals? Do i suck all that ATF out and replace with tilt and trim fluid? Do i need to flush it out somehow? Or just leave it in and roll with it?

    You don't say what motor. My service manual for my Merc says ATF is suitable.

    I have a CMC jackplate that was sluggish in cold weather. I replaced the fluid with ATF about 3 yrs ago and have had no problems.
