I think if i do end up damaging my transmission i will be able to get a new one for a decent price (i've seen auto trannys for my car on ebay/craigslist for <$200) and i can do the repair myself.
Yeah, I've learned that I will still have to do some eoc to trains and long lights. But I will do it once the car reaches under 45 as fuel cut off will take place up until then anyways.

I plan on keeping this car till it dies. So when the day comes that the auto tranny dies. Guess who is converting his car to a manual transmission? Saying that goes out before anything else.
