Thx,

I have never heard of such a thing. I have done that on many cars for well over 100K miles with no problems...

skipping gears makes for more work from the synchros and this will wear them quicker .Unless you clash when you skip this should not be a big deal. Down shifting is harder on a synchro and skipping on a down is likewise harder on the parts. Over -reving your clutch disc is a bigger problem potential than trans damage/ wear.
