RE: speed shifting
I assume you are referring to shifting with your foot OFF the gas? This type of shifting is pretty bad for your car and you do run a minor risk of some serious damage but it isn't nearly as bad as powershifting (shifting while on the gas). I believe the majority of the stress is on the synchros when you power shift...

most of the stress goes to the weakest point in your drivetrain, which will more often than not be the rear end or synchros. in my case it was the rear[:@]
