Hmmm, I posted in a similar thread about this and I have to say it again, skipping gears shouldn't have any adverse effects on your transmission. Maybe, MAYBE, the syncros but not the transmission itself. I have been skipping gears for over the last 9 years in cars from 5spd to 6spd and have never had any issues.
