I don't think it's very bad for the transmission. I turn O/D off in my car on the highway occasionally and it's makes sort of a 'clunk' type of feeling. I just think this is because the tranny is downshifting out of O/D and into third. Check the owner's manual though it will say whether it is hard on the tranny or not.
