What happens if your transmission is overfilled with fluid?

Can a clogged intake line cause a hydraulic failure?

In extreme cases, cavitation can cause mechanical failure of system components. While cavitation can occur just about anywhere within a hydraulic circuit, it commonly occurs at the pump. A clogged inlet strainer or restricted intake line will cause the fluid in the intake line to vaporize.

What happens when you overfill the transmission fluid?

Transmission fluid serves some functions in your vehicle.
