That is what can happen Notice lack of teeth on right most gears...
(not my handy work )
Norbies box that 'self destructed' did a similar thing to the above picture. The only gear that will work if you suffer a gearbox failure in much the same method as above is 4th gear, it might make a large LARGE large amount of noise, but it should still work (unless there is so much metal shaving/teeth/gearbox gear in the box that the bearing seize ).
Torque is generally the killer of gearboxes so with the 1G you should be OKish. Then again I reckon if you tried really hard you could break a W5X behind a 5M-E...(I'm still trying it seems pretty safe )
