    No expert here, but if you only have a tiny bit of backlash between
    the gears, and the noise goes away when you lift up on the drive shaft,
    won’t the gears, being the way they’re designed, separate, as if you
    were lifting the drive shaft, and hence be “quiet” while running.
    Like you say, gear lube will make a big difference as well.
