I also have no idea how to drive in full manual (never learned how to drive stick) so I almost never mess with it in normal driving conditions.
Seems a bit odd to be worried about wearing out the transmission but then just making the engine brake the entire time. Haven't you ever heard 6mt drivers being told to use their brake pedal to slow down since that's what it's there for, rather than engine braking.
