Yes the constant gear changing does wear it out, I always turn off the overdrive when I hit a hilly area that would just be changing the gear back to 3rd all the time. The actual wear is really the fluid getting hotter from the extra gear changes. It's not good to do daily driving just in 2nd though. It really does rev it's tits off, which equals a hot trans box yet again plus extra engine wear. As for going down hills, overdrive all the way. It's really easy to get over 80kmph (in 60 zone) when just letting the car free-wheel down in overdrive, it's almost like neutral in a manual. All I gotta do is steer. Actually, with cars slowing you down, I find it's manual cars that slow me down, because they have engine braking they don't have as near as good free wheel as me and I've always got to brake because of them.
