It doesn't matter much- the cost for replacing just the input shaft is pretty steep.
I had an input shaft failure in a transmission once, the labor and parts for a transmission shop to fix it exceeded the cost of a low mileage transmission from a salvage yard.

Hi soif a shaft breaks off how are you going to drive it. ?????????/.

Yes it can damage a lot if things.
The usual reason for such a failure is increasing engine power and abuse of the drive twain. Such as burnouts.

Normally it doesn't break, the bearing wears out. If it did break other damage is a likely possibility.

Bearing or case damage is possible. Busted the output shaft on a TH450, took out the back half of the tranny.
