Nope, doesn't even cross my mind.
After initially trying manual shifting I find the car does a better job in sport mode than I can do manually (this is true in virtually any performance oriented car these days). Doing this helps assures that I don't over rev the engine or do anything too stupid.
Having been involved in the injection molding process of plastics for way more years than I want to admit to, my personal belief is that the guide issue is more likely driven by variances in batches of the material and tool adjustment periods than it is with driving styles or maintenance practices (aside from being completely abusive and doing no maintenance).
