Question Tranny Probs

My transmission failed about 300 miles away from the dealership a while back. Couldent take advantage of the 30 mile free towing, so I turned overdrive off and drove it down to the valley in 3'rd. I have heard that it may have been caused by downshifting manually. I havent downshifted since then and no problems. 12,000 miles on the truck. I have heard that "Manual Downshifting" is real bad for the trans. Anyone got any info on this?¿?¿?
