Post B737 Stabiliser Trim Checks

"When I was on the 707......." (sorry), during the pre flight checks, there was a requirement to check the Stab Trim internal braking mechanism.

The drill was to run the stab at maximum speed, release the trimmer, and count the number of revolutions after releasing the switch. The limit was three quarters of one turn and it usually stopped immediately!

Now to today's modern 737 which I am assured, has the same mechanism!

If I run the 737 (EFIS) stab trim at max speed - with the flaps deployed and on the ground of course! - and then release the switch, what is the limit and where is this limit found in the Maintenance Manual (reference please if possible).

Thanks,
NIL
