Drive in D or forth gear

Question, does it hurt or help the transmission to drive in stop and go traffic in forth gear than in drive, Is it less or more wear and tear on the transmission.

 

Leave it in D. It won't hurt to leave in 4 other than your MPG though.

 

I sometimes leave it in four around town. It has more snap and doesn't shift as much, but otherwise leave it in D.

 

Thanks for such a quick response TW is great.

 

I heard leaving it in 4 around town will get better mileage but know solid proof though. I still drive in D though

 

^^^ this

MPG won't be the least bit affected unless you have the revs up over 2500 .

 

^^^ This.

 

I agree with OZ-T. My MPG didn't change when I left it in 4 around town. It definetly didn't go up either...still at 15

 

^^^ that

 

4 around town is fine in my opinion... less shifting between 4-5

 

^^^ Indeed
