Here are the results of the test of the ATF/Acetone verses PS/Acetone.

or

Although neither material mixes into a homogeneous solution the ATF/
Acetone combination does not separate very rapidly as compared with
the PS/Acetone combination that separates almost immediately after
shaking.
I have not yet tried the AFT/Acetone mixture, but I have several
friends that use it and swear by it.
The pressurized sprayers are the best solution when using this mix as
Bob & Terry have suggested.

Harbor Freight also sells cans like that:
*ITEM 1102-DAA **http://tinyurl.com/yg5587q*
*ITEM 65297-DAA **http://tinyurl.com/ygb46m8
Seem to be only available in the stores (harborfreightusa.com) and not
On-Line.
You can draw your own conclusions!

Isn't that odd - I'd always thought that power steering fluid and atf were the same thing. Of course this was 15 years ago...

i posted this here and on another forum awhile back and got replies that ATF and acetone won't mix. i also got a reply that the test was done with power steering fluid not ATF.

Let me throw this into the mix. Another forum I participate in said specifically FORD type ATF will not mix with acetone. GM type was OK. I do not know as I have never tried any of them.

You did it the right way the original instructions were a tight fit (wrong way). Bummer that you went thru the trouble of pulling the manifold for a look see.
