I think it could depend upon the specific transmission. If the driven shaft
is the lower shaft (in the oil bath) it should not be a problem.
If the input shaft is the lower shaft (in the oil bath), then spinning the
top shaft (the output shaft) for extended periods could cause things to run
dry and seize.
I believe a friend of mine was towing a 1972 Z28 after blowing an engine,
and had the transmission seize-up as well. It was not a particularly good
day for him, to say the least.
best,
doug
