That won't happen. The trans will let go first Mine actually 'split' a sprag while trying to do this

Went Manual after 3 autotrans failures.

It also has a 3rd gear lock up mod which works really well.

Not having a crack........... just curious why the ZF in this modded one is not an issue (as in failing).
