as long as you dont go into too low a gear for your speed then there isnt really that much harm

why would u ask that question , u should know with an auto car nothing bad is going to happen to your gears, and why would you make a 300zx auto to start off with.

Yea i shift through my gears a lot. Especially if i have a full car. but i'm swapping it sooner or later anyways so not a big deal for me.
