That would actually be ok, unless it's silicone. Silicone is good for lubricating plastic on plastic and not used as a high load lubricant.

Petroleum is good for plastic/plastic, plastic/metal and metal/metal.

I have fill/drain holes in both my diff housings and the top of my trans, which allows me to assemble all of the above dry. I use a small syringe to fill, no better way to avoid the mess like paralyzed seems to not like
So I assume that you allow the lower/output gear in the tranny run in the oil treatment, and it is drawn up onto the other gears. Seems like a good idea, IIRC Sike did this with his 3906 tranny when he had issues with the gears melting. He used lucas oil stabilizer, not sure if that is the same thing you are refering to. With rubber sealed bearings and a little rtv around the case halves it should stay in.
