i understand the concept that replacing the brakes is much cheaper than the tranny. however...i don't feel that downshifting may necessarily be the culprit as long as it's done correctly. there's nothing wrong with letting the engine help out with the slowing-down process. especially when driving aggressively on a curvy road - downshifting is essential. don't confuse flat out slamming on the gears on a straightaway (possible 'power-shiftin', etc.) with downshifting as being the key-player in tranny failure/problems. am i the only one who thinks this way? doesn't matter - cause even if i am...i will never stop downshifting. there - that's my 2 cents! ;)
