What's your best guess? How quickly would something like this happen?
Given that the slipper jammed against the case side and cracked it, it was probably moving pretty good. I expect it came to a screeching halt at that point.

It's not how far...... it's how
FAST. You could probably tow it a quarter mile without damage, if you just crept along. Just like running a motor without oil. If it's idling, it will take longer for it to lock up than if it was running WOT.
