2. This allows transmission to move a little in the vertical axis
3. This causes engine input shaft bearings to experience massive side loads, leads to failure of bearings.
4. Engine input shaft start to wobble causing inter-meshing of gears
5. Transmission produces metal causing failure of epicyclic
6. The rest same as L2 (REDL)
How long do you think the sequence of events (2-5) takes in this scenario?
