4.7 jdm itr transmission question

You're not going to damage anything if that's your concern. Just make sure your maintenance is up to date and your using a quality oil. I have driven to multiple autox's/HPDE's over the last couple of years, which all are about 2.5 hour one way trip on the interstate. We usually sustain 90-100 mph the entire 2.5 hour drive, which usually puts me in the 4500-5500 rpm range the entire trip. Run all day and make the 2.5 hour trip all the way home. No problems! I had the same concern in the beginning that you do now and stopped worrying about it. This is on my B16 with 150k + miles.

I also have a 98 spec B18C setup I'm planning to swap in and from what I've read those who switched the the LS 5th, weren't too happy. The shift from 4th to 5th becomes awkward apparently. I decided to go the opposite direction and swap in the shorter B16 4th and 5th.

I'm at 5400 rpm in 5th gear at 75 mph on the highway. (205/50/15's)
I don't ever want to hear anyone complain about high revs...!
