Yeah I know some or now most don't. I just don't have that kind of luck so I try to take as much precautions as possible on things.
As far as the third gear burnouts. I think as long as you don't let the tires grab and put a lot of stress on everything it should help. Its the same principle with trying to keep excessive heat out of the clutch. As the car walks out of the water stab the clutch before the tires really grab. I know its easier said than does every time but its probably the best way to keep third gear and the clutch happy. Just my .02
