This was done to very high milage engines to restore compression and get rid of excess carbon build up. Trans fluid is VERY high in detergents and really cleans things up.

You probably have a very clean engine inside now.

Many people recommend running a quart of ATF in diesels every now and then. I've done it a couple times, can't say I noticed a huge difference.
