What is the correct procedure for stopping an automatic car?

If you mean simply stopping.....the answer is simple: step on the brakes. If you mean coming to a stop, turning off and leaving the vehicle, the answer is a little more complicated: step on the brakes; come to a stop; put the transmission in park; turn the ignition key off; set the parking brake; leave and lock the car door. Bye!!

Could somebody tell what parts would be needed to convert a automatic transmission 1992 Camry to a 5-speed with VERY basic step-by-step instructions?

It is impossible to 'convert' an automatic transmission into a manual transmission. You car replace the automatic with a manual, which also requires installing a clutch pedal, clutch cable, or clutch master and slave cylinders, as well as a shifter and shift linkages. Check at local junkyards for a car about the same year, make, and model as the one that you have which has a manual transmission, remove, or have removed, this transmission, including the clutch and bell housing, and install these in your car.

Does constant downshifting when accelerating from a stop and downshifting to a stop harm an automatic-transmission over time?

Depending on what shape or how old the shift console is, it can eventually affect it yes. If it has an automatic transmission, why not just brake and at most just put the shift in neutral? That's a lot easier on the transmission than trying to use the 3,2, or 1 setting that's virtually never used. Well, i dont know for 100% sure... but my friend had a newer Ford Probe GT and he used the auto as a stick shift and his transmission went out at 50,000 miles.. the shop told him it was for that reason.. Its an automatic transmission not a manual. why would you want to put increased wear on it when you could just step on your brakes. Its a whole lot cheaper to replace a set of brake pads then a transmission. yes, it will make the transmission wear out, and start going out, after awhile youll notice more of a kick when the car shifts, and when the car heats up it wont want to go it will just rev up, same thing happend to me because i was stupid with the car
