even the manumatic shift mode on all the automatic cars are not meant ot be shifted constantly, the best way to drive ur automatic car is, well to put it into D and drive.

There is no such thing as manual mode. It has Low, 2nd and drive. Low is for use when in heavy snow or needing to keep the car from shifting. 2nd is often used when pulling a trailor. They are not made to be shifted between When you shift between the two it has the same damaging effect as shifting without clutching on a manual. It is basically forcing it into gear without preping it. Although it shifts fine, it's eating away at the gears. it's the quick way to send your car to the junk yard.
