Just to spin the transmission with my fingers, I can feel a small amount of additional resistence compared to a dry setup. But in thinking about this, when the rpm's are raging, the spinning gears move the oil away splattering it around the inside of the case. Centrifigal force only allows a small amount to stay on the rotating gears.

The faster everything is rotated, the smaller the resistence I believe. Just as long as the amount you put in the case isn't excessive. I only add enough to pool in the bottom of the case. Just enough to "wet" the lower 1/4" of the output gears. This way, each time rpm's drop, the oil is picked back up again and distributed around the internals.

My 2 cents.
