The odds of damage are extremely low. If you're the type of person to be paranoid about this sort of thing (and I'm not looking down on you for this, I'm looking straight across at you, because I worry about the silliest things, myself), then wait a month or so and then change the tranny fluid again.

I'm sorry; I wasn't clear. I assumed that you'd already put the right fluid in. I was responding as if you were worried that just having the wrong stuff in there for a short while would be a problem.
