Does it hurt the transmission to down shift through 123 on an automatic?

Well, maybe.
I've done this on a lot of the cars I've driven and never done any
noticeable damage. However, you don't want to down shift an auto at
too high a speed/rpm. If you're traveling at 45 miles per hour and down shift
into 1st, you may or may not experience a severe jolt forward as the car loses
momentum. Or you may or may not hear bad sounds from the transmission.
Some cars just won't shift if the RPM's are too high. Others will, although I would guess that most modern cars won't let you do anything TOO stupid.
Actually, there's really no good reason to manually down shift an auto. It's smart
enough to shift (or not)when it should. The only reason I did it was to show off and pretend that I was driving a hot rot with a stick ;)
