Is skipping gears bad for the tranny?

As long as you don't clunk it and it goes in easily, is this bad for your tranny? I go first to third or second to fourth or third to fifth all the time, and it works fine. 4th gens have a built in skip shift correct? Thanks

just dont ;et the motor struggle to stay runnin, and you should be fine, i skip gears in my toyota truck during the winter months, when roads are slick, it keeps the torque down, so its not as easy to spin a tire
