What about the advice of not resting your hand on the shifter when not
actually shifting? I have heard from more than a few people that resting

your hand on the shifter when not shifting can damage the transmission,
don't remember exactly which part. Old wives tale? Maybe similar to how
a heavy keychain can damage the ignition switch.
