The lo/rev sprag in a 200, is a wear item ( I don't want to say weak) It could be damaged in an event such as above.
Other than that, the direct clutch can also be an item to look at.Some builders like to run a bit lower line pressure than I do in mine. This is probably an item that should be discussed with your builder..

What would you consider an acceptable line pressure? What would be too low?

Glenn, Some of that depends on how you prepare the direct clutch. I don't want to mislead anyone with MY techniques.
I use T/A valve bodies , for the most part. Our setup takes that into account.
PM me or text, if you want.
