Toyota Camry: 1996 Camry Transmission overfill

I slightly overfilled the tranny fluid on 1996 Camry - it is slightly higher
than the HOT area of the dipstick - put 30 miles on the car since - did I
damage the transmission already -- any help would be appreciated?

I suspect automatic transmissions are routinely over filled because
some service personnel do not allow the unit to reach full operating
temperature before checking.
The fluid needs to be "hot" which according to Toyota takes minimum
ten miles driving time.
When the fluid is fully warmed or heated and has expanded, then one
checks the final level on the dipstick.
So a lot of people - certainly the ones who have had their transaxles
serviced at Jiffy Lube (drive around the block then re check) - a lot
of people are driving around with over filled transmissions - and it
doesn't seem to do a lot of harm.
Don't think it does any good either, though.
Transmissions are expensive, and for me, I keep the level at the
correct mark.
If you're regularly changing the transmission fluid, as you should be,
you may inadvertently overfill slightly.
Here's my solution:
AutoZone sells a simple siphon tube kit with a small plastic squeeze
bottle.
It doesn't really work, but only costs around $2. The little squeeze
bottle just crushes and that's the end of it. But you also get a nice
new, clean, long, narrow plastic tube which fits nicely into the
transmission fill tube.
This may not be the recommended method, but I just suck out the fluid
into the tube, being careful the red liquid does not reach my mouth,
then empty into a container by putting my finger over the end and then
releasing.
Once or twice ought to do it for .25".
Then store the tube in a sealed plastic bag. Automatic transmissions
are very sensitive to contamination so you don't want to introduce any
dirt or grit next time.
Chances are, after having done this once, you'll be less likely to
overfill again, but if needed, can adjust the level perfectly.
I always figure the marks on the dipstick were put there for a reason,
may as well use them.
