It's not like something with no lubricating properties was put in the engine. Unless the ATF has some affect on the seals, I say no damage was done with as few miles driven.

A guy I used to work for at a small German repair shop used to fill old engines with ATF and run them for a few days to clean the sludge. Those cars all survived with no issues.

Someone here posted that ATF is the same viscosity as 0-20
