driving in second and third??
Ive been doing some driving on some twisty roads where second and third gear work the best, is this bad for my tranny or should I not worry about it?

There is no harm. That is why M-B has always provided a way to hold the gears on their automatics.
Holding the gears means less unnecessary shifting and wear. I use the feature in traffic so I don't have to constantly go between the accelerator and the brake.
