High revs and proper speed matched downshifting are not especially hard on the trans. Hard launches and high torque in lower gears is very hard on them. Poor maintenance, bad shifting techniques, and general rough handling are biggest killers on stock cars. I have a wrecked '85 SPG with 245K on the untouched trans - the long term owners practice was 'no boost in 1st or 2nd'. It also got a lot of highway use. I consider 'slam' shifting to be the worst trans abuse.
