The glycol can become extremely destructive and relying on heat to drive out the water only concentrates the problem. This article has instructions for dealing with the antifreeze in oil problem.

Transmissions get really really hot!! After draining the fluid a few times , like you have( do it once more for good luck) a drive through the city, in some prime stop and go traffic, may just boil the rest out. I would recheck the level every few minutes to replace the coolant that boils out.I guess it will steam out through the dip stick tube.You might find out exactly how much coolant was in the trans that way.The strainer/filter wont catch any coolant.It is just a fine sive.Thats what I would do. That, and cross my fingers.
