i think it would be better since it SHOULD be covered under warranty (not too sure though)

TWM makes a bronze bushing replacement kit for the shift cables at the tranny. Worth the money for a little more response. I am about to experiment with my TRD by doing an ergonomic shift. Simply put, I am going to heat and bend the shifter rod to a 45degree angle up and over towards the gas pedal. That geometry shift will atleast help me from ramming my elbow into the center armrest when shifting 2nd hard.

Physically, NO, they canot damage your tranny. Yes, driver error may be multiplied.
