The manufacturer even says that the gearbox isn’t robust enough to withstand that torque (which is really just poor form in my opinion). The rotary cocking mechanism probably got jammed when it had to quickly change direction when ALF got flipped, and the gearbox probably kicked. The motor itself was fine and ran perfectly well when disconnected from the gearbox during post-mortem.
