When the car is moving, but the engine is not spinning, the mainshaft turns,
but doesnt drive the counter gear, or the input shaft.
The counter gear is what throughs oil all over everything, which means
that the internals are spinning, but not really being lubes.
Worse yet is that the main shaft runs on roller bearings in the input
shaft, which is stationary and not getting oil too.
This spins the rollers at about 30X the mainshaft rate, which is not good
considering there is no oil to cool the bearing faces.
