06 vz spac ute
I was driving from deception bay to lismore and about 45 mins out from lismore I lost 3rd and 4th. I then drove home again taking around 3 hours. Was doing around 100ks and the car was sitting just above the 4000 revs. Car didn't overheat it just sat a little hotter then normal. Its a 06 vz ute with the alloytec so I just want to know if there will be any damage done to the motor or will I soon start having more problems with it down the line

Might even run better, engines like a good trash now and then. I bet your L/100 wasn't too flash though.
