Full title: Are automatic/manual transmissions less stressed by highway driving or city driving?
------------------------------------------------------------------
With engines, the near-consensus is that highway driving is less stressful--engines like to be revv'd at a constant rpm.
What about transmissions? Is the opposite true? With transmissions city driving means slower speeds (=less heat=good) but also entails a lot of gear changing (change in speeds and also reversing for parking)
What says you?
