Personally I can’t see how it would be bad for the transmission, but, really, you are supposed to have 2 hands on the steering wheel, not resting one somewhere else. I can’t see it causing damage, but I don’t see it being good for the gear shift either! This is just my opinion not anything more :blink:

I’m lucky, I’ve only owned 2 cars and I’ve been driving since I was 15. First car crappy Nissan Pulsar, I hated it and it hated me. Second car purchased when I was around 21…still got it. ’95 Toyota Corolla, got it at Toyota dealership as a Signature Class vehicle (warranty, free service for 2 years etc etc), with only 52000km on it, an ex-lease from Auckland Airport! This car is unbelievable, got 260000km and still going strong (it’s only a 1.3L) but Toyota did a quality run-around car in those days. She is well looked after, even when I knew nothing about cars she was well looked after.
Buying a new car is something I will probably never do, and don’t want to really. Why? When you get get such a good deal on secondhand if you are careful. However, I do see the attraction, not only a lovely new engine but an untouched interior….blissful lol.
I know my car won’t go forever but I have no idea what I’ll go for next. I like to think I am loyal to Toyota, but Hyundai has got a very good name here now (New Zealand) and I have heard some less than tasteful things about newer Toyota’s for reliability.
Oh well, here’s to happy motoring in second hand cars!! 😉I’m lucky, I’ve only owned 2 cars and I’ve been driving since I was 15. First car crappy Nissan Pulsar, I hated it and it hated me.
