Don't put tranny fluid in it, Drive in the wrong gear, put it into reverse while the vehicle is moving forward, (Especially at high rate of speed) Switching into drive while reversing. or putting into park while vehicle is moving. All play a factor in destoying your tranny over time or in one shot.
