I looked up 6066 guy's site. The main concern I have is the fact the the gears are pulling backwards. They are not designed to handle stress in that direction of rotation. It may work great forever, or it may blow up immediately. personally I don't know. If you don't care, I would say, go for it and see if it works. In reality the absolute worst I would expect would be a break in the case allowing the gears to bypass. If it is a steel case then I would only expect a crack at the worst.
