First, the transmission gets its oiling from an oil slinger at the front
and is actuated only when power is applied by the engine.
I may be wrong, but I'd always assumed that the teeth of the layshaft gears
spinning through the oil in the gearbox case would stir up a LOT more oil than
a thin flat washer on edge to the oil. I always assumed that the little flat
washer just kept too much oil from getting splashed against the front bearing
and out the front seal.
