Here is the good news, your car is newer than mosts, so your 4th gear shaft is WAY better than the 97-02 cars, in 03 then switched the 4th gear to a hardend metal, so it wont strip the gear anymore.

So putting it in 3rd will never hurt the tranny when going those speeds.
Thanks man good to know. Yeah I only travel local not high way so I'm leave it in 3rd all the time. I have flow masters on the car and it sounds way better with that gear. When I leave it in drive it always shifts to fourth and sounds not so good lol. If I were to go a little over 50 is that putting to much stress on the engine / trans ?
