Doesn't matter. At a minimum, the comm bars will lift, and at worst, the assembly won't have been balanced to handle the RPMs and will destroy itself. It happened to Mark Hastings on the EVDL in 2007, when the buyer of his truck towed it behind a car dolly with the transmission in first. The 9" motor and transmission both grenaded.
