Re: am i messing up my trans???

it should be okay as long as you continue to rev as you shift through each "gear." I wouldn't recommend doing that shit fast though.

My friend does it all the time and his automatic is fine.

BTW the transmission was put in less than a year ago, so it is fairly new.
