I suspect that using the cruise control will zero impact on the life of the auto transmission, either to worsen it - or to prolong it.

If you are the type of driver who always floors the gas pedal & drives in a harsh jerky manner, then cruise control should help.

If you're already accustomed to driving smoothly, then it probably won't help or hurt.
