is it bad on the transmission to manually downshift an auto transmission (FMX) from 3rd to 2nd, like passing gear? I know not to ever downshift into 1st, but is it okay to downshift it into 2nd?

Cause i cant get my kickdown linkage to work correctly right now. So i always just knock it down into second gear by hand to pass and what not. Just checkin if that was bad or anything. lol.

i dont have a shift kit or anything in it, but it seems to shift fast and firmly. Especially upshifting from 1st to 2nd, it kicks in hard. 2nd to 3rd is a little smoother.
