i don't see why, or even how, this would hurt the car..
A few times, yeah lol. Yesterday was the last time. I was showing my co-worker the car and I was on a slick slick road and I barely got traction..kept jumping to the limiter.

for example, if you are in D mode and you flip it to manual, then downshift too much. Will it let you blow the engine or will it prevent the downshift from occurring?
no, our cars are built with a computer. the computer will rev-match for you so if your revving too high, you won't be able to downshift until its matched to 5k rpm.
