IMO the all metal tranny gears need to be lubed. Some have experimented with the various oil additives and have had good results. Seems like putting enough in the tranny case for the teeth of the lower gear to run in would be enough to allow the rotation to coat the upper gears without having too much drag.

I plan to do this with my savage tranny. Just makes sense that steel gears need to have lubrication. Especially seeing that they will be spun pretty fast. Also make note that the upper gear you see the wear on has about 1/3 to 1/4 of the teeth of the gear it meshes with so it will see 3-4times the wear of the larger gear.
