Is it harmful to drive in "2" for long periods of time?

Trans is TH-350.


Is it ok or harmful to the transmission to drive in "2" for long periods of time?


i'll get into why, if we make it that far.........

Not if you only drive 30. I think you’ll be ok going slow.

Fluid temps will be astronomical, your beating the engine for no reason. Why some one would do that is beyond rational thinking

I don't see why it would be an issue...2nd gear should have you well over torque converter stall at speed, so you're not really worried about heat build up in the converter/trans. The engine might not like it, if you are keeping it at high RPM.

It'll be fine. Drive is just there to help the fuel economy anyway. It's not really necessary.

And they go faster in 2. I think it means twice the power for real excitement drive in 1 that’s 10x

Tell us! Tell us! Please! Please!

 

[Rusty Nail]

Because.

OP asked a yes or no question directed at nobody specific, my answer is no.

If you want to know why you'll have to ask another question but i'll tell ya right now...the answer to the question why is the word because.

Hope this helps!
