I recently checked my transmission fluid and it was a little low. I accidentally added too much fluid, maybe 1/3 of a centimeter over the dip stick mark. Is this bad for the transmission?

While overfilling the tranny IS bad for it, the amount you have overfilled is not going to hurt. If it was say 1/2 quart extra then yes you would need to drain some back out. But just 1/3 cm up on the stick will not hurt at all.
