NO! Use Castrol Girling (or in a dire emergency DOT4 brake fluid). Same goes
for the brake system.
Transmission fluid is used for lubrication of the transmission; the clutch and
brake fluids are used to transfer pedal pressure to the working part(s) of the
system(s). Different principle - hence different types of fluids. Cheers.
