Default Sport Mode

I am not sure if there is a thread about this already, but my 07 NB has the "S" mode right below drive for "Sport" driving i assume. I like the way it responds in curvy driving and such, but I would like to know if this puts bad stress on the trans? Like I said, I like driving in "S" but do not want to damage the trans.

driving in sport mode all the time is quite alright...in fact, i encourage it if you can't/don't want to own a stick. it makes the 2.5 a riot to drive...and nothing beats leaving a stoplight and pulling hard all the way to 100+ with the motor growling like a race car.
