will it hurt my transmission
i love to drive my car in the D, not the [D] drive. does it hurt the tranny to drive in D on the freeway?? it is alot more fun and picks up alot better than in [D].

I leave mine in drive unless I will be cruising at or above 50 mph for a length of time, at which point I put it into OD. You should put it into OD on the highway though. No real need to turn 2500+ rpm. Just put your foot down a little more/quicker so it downshifts or unlocks and it'll move just as well in OD as D.

the throttle is stiffer and feels more powerful, i understand its in third rather than fourth but i didnt want to destroy my tranny by having fun weaving through traffic and checkin out girls while doin it.
