How bad is this?!

If you are asking, then it's not bad. Keep doing it and it might become bad, though. I missed a few shifts before and it never hurt anything. Did the 3-2 downshift in my WS6 at 80 once. Broke the rear tires loose. No problems. Well, I say no-problems, the rear-end pinion bearing and wheel-bearings went out a few K miles later. RElated? No way to know.
