No amount of flushing / hoping / praying / wishful thinking will remove water from a transmission.

The transmission fluid and water will combine to form an emulsion. The emulsion will stick to the parts within the transmission. It will not come out. The emulsion will encourage corrosion - the transmission will die.
Agreed.

But if the transmission is critically low on fluid, foaming and shake/shiver is a symptom.
