Does manually shifting an auto help the tranny? Yes, and no.
If you're into driving the car hard, then yes, it MIGHT help the tranny. But you will need to lift your foot off the gas pedal when making the shift to allow the tranny to shift at a low-boost level.
During normal driving, it won't help at all. In fact, the tranny knows better than you when it needs to shift/not shift.
But, this is only my (and others) $0.02. There's not much documentation on the longevity of an auto through the use of manually shifting. Plus, depending upon the age and wear on your tranny, manually shifting it may not do anything to help it.
