Wow two pages and no correct answer why the transmission is locked out of 4th. It has to do with emissions (the cats need to be at operating temperature to work properly) and the quickest way to get them up to temp is by running the engine at a higher RPM. If your not going over 45mph why are you so worried about not getting into 4th for that short of a commute? My car only takes a mile at 30mph to get up to operating temperature, even when we were in single digits. Stop and go, tires, conditions, winter gas and other habits have more effect than not being able to get into 4th at 45mph.
