Neutral drop in the 7AT

Default Neutral drop in the 7AT

Not sure if this is the right section for this, but I'm wondering... How bad is it to be neutral dropping in the 7a/t?

Lately I've been flying in tiptronic, mostly using paddleshifters, but sometimes I get lazy and leave it in "D". Since it's become a habit to either paddleshift or use the shifter to upshift, I've ended up popping her into neutral & then back into drive a few times now. Usually with a 2-4K RPM gain. Which means I'd go from approx 3-4K RPM to 5-8K and then drop it back. This is accidental

End result of such a drop is a hard kick & sometimes a tire squeal. What I'm wondering is how bad is this for my tranny? Should I worry?
