Engine "Braking".......Does it hurt the motor ???

Recently put a three speed automatic in without clean neutral feature........is the "drag" on the motor damaging the engine leaving it in third gear at the finish line and allowing the engine to slow the car down ????

the Turbo Action website says on a reverse pattern 3 speed turbo 350 that there is no engine braking in second gear......is that every turbo 350 or just a feature of Turbo action transmissions ????
