Any harm to switching from auto mode 'D' to manual mode and back while driving?

Switching over to "D" mode from Manual mode doesn't harm your car in anyway. It's the same exact thing as when you hit the downshift paddle while in "D" mode

Switching over to "D" mode from Manual mode doesn't harm your car in anyway. It's the same exact thing as when you hit the downshift paddle while in "D" mode and the car downshifts for you but then goes back to "D" after a short while. Going to "D" mode from Manual just changes into a lower gear for you... thats all.

That's what makes this auto so great... the abiilty to switch on the fly.
