Machining precision required to make custom gearboxes

My team is currently making a (simple) custom gearbox in place of the COTS gearboxes we were planning to use that ran out of stock.

My question is: Do you really need thou precision to make decent gearboxes? Because after looking at some other threads, it seems like even measurements as small as .003" can make a significant difference in the performance of a gearbox.
