Some people put Vaseline on the gears, some pour oil on them. I fill the gearbox before I install it, then I try all five gears plus reverse and drive the input shaft with a hand drill for a minute or two.
If you start the car and drive away slowly after the instal the gears are lubricated immediately. I don't see the issue. I let my cabriolet sit for six months per year and I don't pre-lube the gears before I drive it in spring.
