Now forgetting to up-shift fro 2nd to 3rd is a bad idea... smelling burnt clutch from an AT, not a good thing...

It has nothing to do with saving the transmission. It was intentionally programmed that way in the CL and earlier TLs. The newer TL (2007+) will let you happily bounce off of the revlimiter in first all day long with the AT.
