I guess where the force that stops it gets applied. Imagine the core halting so the crust momentum causes it to slide of the mantle. Massive quakes.

Dark side would definitely get cold once everything settled, below freezing for sure, and sunny side roasted worse than any desert.

Only dusk / dawn zones would be habitable
