Manually shifting gears in automatic?

[v6ga]

Hey everyone, im new to this board, so if this is in the wrong section, excuse me.

Anyways, I drive a 1998 v6 sedan, and I was wondering if shifting through gears (ie D1 > D2 > D3 > D4) would harm the transmission in anyway?

Im aware of the already weak trannys that the v6's possess, but was trying to get a definite answer.

I wouldn't do it. Like you said, our auto trannies are known to be weak so doing something like this is not a very good idea...

yes. it will definitely dramatically shorten the life of your autotragic.​

Swap a 6spd than you can shift from 1-6

Where did you hear our transmissions are weak? They're strong as fawk, just be careful to not neutral drop, driving it like that is acutally recommended by Honda.
