But I seriously doubt engine braking from coast downs will hurt this trans.

I'm Happy To See That I Could Spark Some Conversation.....
UP IN HERE!
I-Gear, feels like a sports-driving gear. TRUE:it does not turn off the traction control. It does however allow you to come out the hole like you were shot from a cannon. I don't use I-gear all the time,just when I want to do a BURN-OUT or get somewhere very quickly.
I-GEAR..............TRY IT,YOU WILL BE SUPRISED HOW QUICK YOUR CAR IS!
P.S.
I can not wait until the G.M. test drive show comes to my city. I will spend all the day in the HHR. The frist thing I will do, is put it in ......I-Gear!

I say save the burnouts for something that is actually fast and preferably rear wheel drive..

I agree also: I also have a 1954 chevy 1/2 ton with a 74-Nova clip & ladder bar, coil-over shocks,10 bolt posi,built 350 trans-with b&m stall,built 350 with an out of 350 horse's 350 torque. I was running a stick,but I kept breaking the transmissions-even after I installed a rockchrusher munchie 4 spd.
BURNNING RUBBER is still fun in a HHR!(my frist brand new car!)
