Always thought they were magnesium. Some of the nicest feeling paddles around imo. Large, beefy feeling, and column mounted.
The only way you can mess up your transmission is if you rev it in neutral and drop it into drive. So yeah, don't do that and you're fine. I've accidentally done it a couple times while using the shift stick to shift. Nudged it over to D instead of M and shifting up resulted in it going to neutral. Revs spiked. I panicked and put it down into drive. Car lurched pretty hard. No longer using the shifter to change gear anymore.
