7AT mush

I am new to this kind of driving so I guess I am more holding the steering wheel and trying not to crash then switching gears. I wasn't red lining it the but I was in third most of the time at high revs. I was just in higher revs then I usually am. The question is whether its ok to drive the car in one gear like that for extended periods of time while the engine is under load? What about the "not smooth" transition between 3rd and 4th gear. Why is that and is that okay?

well if its twisty roads you wont be in high revs the whole time in one gear. you'll be getting on and off the throttle most likely. should be fine.

as for the not smooth gear change i'm not sure. i do know that once in awhile when switching up from 4th to 5th i'll get a slight RPM bump while changing. nothing bad just an ecu glitch.
