You won't regret it Seth.

This mod will not break your tranny, if it happens to eventually break it will be because of natural wear and tear.

I will go further and agree with Patrick about the sport/power mode probably being beneficial; in my own case I always took the view that power mode let the engine rev up more before it called for a gear change. Consequently all gear changes would be happening with the pump spinning harder and line pressure at max value. Changes are a fraction stiffer, but cause less clutch wear.

I have no evidence to support this theory, unless you count the fact that when I rebuilt the gearbox and drove it this way [using power mode], it stayed fixed. I drove it for years and sold it with the gearbox still good.
