It depends on the transmission. Some will overflow any excess, others may cause seal damage, still others, maybe no problem at all. If it's working ok, take the vehicle to a shop and have the fluid and filter changed. If you say anything to a transmission shop about it being overfilled, they'll tell you to rebuild the transmission. That's just a standard answer if they see ANYTHING out of the ordinary. Don't let them rebuild it unless/until it actually starts to fail.
