The transmission will not be affected.
When crusing at 50MPH in 4th you will be very near closed throttle.
At that point the ECU will cut fuel to the rear rotor injectors.
This gives you a rough exhaust sound.
(It’s not sure if maybe you want to slow down)
This is normal if you are just slowing down some.
If it's happening at steady speed on level road, your TPS is slightly out of adjustment.
