Hi guys,

I got my 2015 Subaru BRZ AT about a month ago, and put a little over 3700 miles on it already. When I'm driving locally, I've learned that keeping my revs lower and gears higher helps me get better mileage, and I sometimes switch it into the manual mode, using paddle shifters. I'm wondering if switching into the manual mode mid-drive will affect my transmission negatively in any way? Sorry if it's a dumb question, still a car newbie here!
