ATF Milkshake survivors ? How long has it been ?

Anyone recover from an ATF milkshake by full flushing with ATF and/or multiple machine flushing,
how far did the tranny last after that ? or is it still going fine ?

I just did mine (drop pan, gravity flush, then triple computer flush)
and it seems fine, but I am now always gonna wonder ...will it slip or should I just not worry ?

I know a lot depends on

how far did it go whilst strawberried ?
(mine maybe 39 miles on highway)

any codes or symptoms before noticing the issue ?
no codes, one clunky downshift. seemed almost normal actually.

how well was it maintained before the milkshake ?
according to manual since day 1

did it ever overheat ? (that would have thrown a code): it got HOT
but never overheated to trigger a light. it did spray out the coolant tank, that is how
I found out.
