While the torque converter on an auto and the clutch on the manual transmission doesdo allow the engine to disengage the drive. I believe that the real answer to this question is that the gears in the gearbox are designed to be strong enough so that the gears won't be damaged either by the maximum torque of the engine driving it, or the forces on it through engine braking.
