But some of those gears would be spinning at several thousands of RPM's. What's a thousand or two more from the engine being off?

Good to know, thank you for the information! My car is an 05 Civic, thought I said that but looks like I forgot to. I don't think my transmission has any type of splasher or pump, I didn't see anything like that when I had it apart.
