Of all of the silly car myths on the internet, this is onbe of the silliest. The shifter assy is mounted on bracket, fastened to the housing tailshaft. There is no way it loads any internal tranny component.
The tranny is engineered to continously deal wit 200 ft/lbs of force. I don't think my hand, or an oversize shift knob, is going to reduce its longevity.
