> mmmm, i dont know. i havent heard ppl complaining about those transmissions, but that doesnt really mean good or bad. it just means that i havent heard about it. is it bad to downshift it? its not grinding a clutch down or anything, right? theres fluid slushing around in it afaik. though, i have VERY limited transmission knowledge about my car. so if u know something, please let me know, it’d be very helpful.

its just like any car unless you NEED to engine brake, dont do it. brakes are cheaper than clutches/transmissions. but if you want to go from drive to 3 or 2 and put un-necessary stress/strain on the trans then by all means do it.
