Default tc lock up switch

when you lock it up and get on it it shifts hard that normal? will that hurt any thing?

i would say that its actually better for the clutches because they are not slipping as much. but it might be harder on the rest of the drive components

on goerend's website it advises not to let the tranny shift while in lock up without billet shafts.
