You'll be fine, quick drastic changes do the most harm. High rpms put a lot of stress on everything, not just your transmission. But, plenty of people track this car getting it close to or at redline often under high load and still have their engine running fine for years now. You can change the fluid the Redline MT-85 or similar if you want the added piece of mind or feel you have similar issues to what people described above.
