I will downshift on a long hill, but always keep in mind that brakes are in=
credibly inexpensive (especially if you change your own) compared to a tran=
ny. Living in the PNW I spend a lot of time in the mountains and use firm, =
interval braking to keep them cool, never riding the brakes for an extended=
period.
Personally, I feel that moving in and out of gear while stopped at a light =
is hard on a tranny over the long haul. It's a shock load, even when the t=
rans is warm.

Subject: [Shop-talk] Automatic Transmission Question
G'day all,
Quick question, I have a buddy that drives his automatic transmission like =
a manual. He shifts going up and down hill, even shifts into neutral at st=
op lights.
While I guess it can't hurt anything, I know it is totally unnecessary. Bu=
t, can it do damage?
is there any problem with him doing this? If so, I would love to show him =
some information if it will cause problems.
Thanks.
Moose
