powerbraking isn't too hard on the tranny.... you're only reving to 1500-2000 rpm's or so for a couple seconds. Racing isn't exactly pampering any part of your ride.

a limited slip differential greatly helps with launches too.

Powerbraking shouldn't hurt anything, if anything your tires might get lower milage and same with your brakes.
But I'm also a newbie Auto Launcher, all my previous cars were Sticks, so I love the Auto and hate it at the same time haha
