Wrong transmission fluid

Dealership gave me wrong transmission fluid for my vehicle. I have been driving with it for 5 months. The dealership gave me ATF D/M but vehicle takes WS. How bad is this for my car and should I do a flush. Im worried about doing a flush because I was late on doing my transmission fluid change the first time around and could cause further problems if I do a flush.

What kind of car do you have? Engine? Transmission?

What is WS fluid? I've never heard of that.

A flush will not harm a transmission. If the transmission is damaged and about to die, it will still die after the flush. If it is in good shape it will be in better shape after the flush.
