Yet another metric 200 question

Clamping off the cooler lines changes the way the pressure regulator works, resulting in way higher line pressure, but also prevents lube and cooler flow. The result of that will be an over pressurized converter which could / will lead it to ballooning , plus no lube flow will burn up the clutches and bearings. This is obviously no good for the transmission . If you are having line pressure issues, hook up a line pressure gauge to help diagnose the problem .
