Strange concept I know but several years ago I actually contacted twin disc regarding a gearbox used on a cat build I was involved in.

The consensus was that it could happily be run in neutral for several hours at a time, water lubrication to the shaft bearings could be an issue but slots in the bearings should allow enough water inflow.
If really worried about it a small 12v pump would take care of it.

I guess what I am saying is you could always give someone a call.
