Good gear lube!
On my two older ZZs, I tried lubing the gears with a tiny bit of 3 in 1 oil. It worked good, but it picked up every bit of dirt & hair and needed to be cleaned often.
While I was turning the F-150 I just bought into a dually, I got a wild hair and stuck a pencil into the gears while they were spinning. It ground off a little bit of graphite and now it runs MUCH more smoothly than with the oil.
[Edit] BTW, I just held the pencil against the gears long enough to turn the teeth shiny black.
