@212Man what I was trying to explain was the faulty AP will only exert 5% authority through a single linear actuator in the affected channel. And this will be ameliorated to some extent by the good AP channel telling its series actuator to do the opposite thing. The rotary trim actuator has 100% authority, but as soon as you hit the force trim release on the cyclic, or switch off the stick trims, the trim actuator is unpowered and thus taken completely out of the equation.
