They are wrong on both counts. A CVT tranny is not harmed in any way shape or form by using paddle shifters. I am baffled why they would even think that.

You can not harm the engine or transmission in your car by using paddle shifters. The rev limiter and the control unit will not let you do anything bad. No chance of a miss shift like on a MT since it simply will not shift down too far.
