he told me that it doesnt make a difference weather you drive it enthusiastically or conservatively, all the steptronic does it hold the the gear in there until you shift and since the car is doing the shifting and not you manual there is no damage. just more stress on things like suspension and engine but not the tranny.
so that was good to hear because i was worried about sludge and stuff, and was about to get it flushed to until i heard this.

Strange. I always read that running the A/T in manual mode holding gear at high RPM puts undue stress on the valve body.
