I am quite certain that it does very little harm to a vehicle. Earlier, I used to downshift quite a bit. I still got 250 kmi from the clutch and I have now owned the car for over 300kmi. I do not have any noticeable damage from downshifting. I figure that as I am at over 370kmi with about 310kmi of it driven by me, if my driving style was poor or if I did things which were damaging to the car, the problems would have shown by now -- especially on a 60x which the board seems not to like as compared to a 61x (I do not share this feeling).
