Has anyone's transmission survived transcooler fail?

Just wondering if anyone's tranny was OK after they had the transcooler fail?
Car is at acura dealership.
They are doing the tranny flush, using 12quarts of atf. & flushing coolant system & new radiator new hoses t-stat etc.
NOTHING overheated, but I guess some coolant might have mixed, they won't say for sure.

08 RDX tech

I've read plenty of threads of how to fix etc but I'm not finding anything about how their tranny was after the fact.

Happened to my 08 almost 2 years ago. Had radiator replaced, tranny flushed, no problems since then.

About 1 1/2 year ago, had our 08 TL radiator and transmission coolant line separate while driving around 60 miles per hour. Lost all power and coasted to a stop. Coolant and transmission fluid were all lost, pumped out. Had car towed home. Found that the fitting had corroded away. Appeared to be a dissimilar metal issue. Acura dealer disavowed any design flaw. I acquired a replacement radiator, installed it in the driveway. Dropped the transmission pan, found very little in it other than some material on the magnet. Replaced the fluids, and have driven it about another 30000 miles without any further incident. Upon recent visit to the dealer, service rep tried to get me to sign up for transmission fluid change and I reminded him of my prior impromptu transmission flush. He acknowledged that they have had several similar recent incidents.
