if it would make the tranny fall apart after a few times they wouldnt put in on it. sure it will lower the life of the tranny..but its cuz your driving it hard, as long as u dont redline it and make it hit the rev limiter your should be good. i havnt looked at it in the manual but i doubt they will even mention it. the L1 and L2 gears are made for going up hils and stuff with a load like if u had a car full of people trying to go up a steep hill you drop it down so that it doesnt up shift and you not make itup the hill. i did it all the time in my old car (a pos already) and it didnt mess anything up. i did it in my truck too 83 silverado..
