you can backdrive helical gears provided the helix angle is not small. Say less than 8 degrees for static driving and less than 3 degrees for dynamic driving. Now, when you say crossed helical gears, you got to be careful what the shaft angle is. In one case they need to be same hand and other they need to be different.
