Wow, thanks. I wouldn't go as far as Wiz, but you're welcome
Its fine to shift your tranny in and out of OD. During shifts is when 90% of the wear occurs in an automatic tranny. They're of course designed to handle it and the wear that occurs during the shift is incredibly minimal, but it stands to reason that a transmission has a certain lifespan and the fewer shifts, the better. Most cars also have a protection factor built into the computer that it won't let you shift down if the shift would cause the engine to rev past redline so for the most part you can't damage it. You'll just be accelerating wear on the components.
