Tranny Fluid?

well i changed the tranny fluid in my 85 cam the other day and just recently noticed that the guy at autozone sold me the wrong fluid. the camaro book says to use dex 2 fluid, yet the guy sold me dex 3. whats the worst thing that could happen if i run it with dex 3 instead of 2?? i really dont wanna crawl under there and change it again.
