Question on automatics

will it hurt the tranny if you leave it in manual mode all the time?
I've look in the owner's manuel and havent found anything on the subject. Figured this is the best place to ask.
Btw--I love my G!!! Picked it up last friday and loving every minute of it...I go to my garage practically every hour just to look at it sitting there...traded my supercharged mustang for it and have no regretts at all...the G blows it away.

Re: Question on automatics

One more advise:
You should let the car downshift for you from third to first. Otherwise, I've noticed the downshift is hard from 2nd to 1st.
