never heard of it being bad. I've heard that it's less wear and tear on your engine.

Cruise control on or off won't really affect the trans. I wouldn't worry about that at all.
I WOULD get a trans cooler installed inline with your stock cooler.

In hilly country, turning the cruise off will save gas if you drve right. Speed up down hills, and naturally slow down somewhat when going up.

I did not get a manual with the ZX2 I just bought - is a dash light supposed to come on when you have cruise on?

I don't think so. I haven't had a Z with cruise for over 2 years, so I can't remember, but I don't believe it does.
