The Ford Barn - View Single Post - New transmission locks up. Only spins free in neutral. Thoughts?

Not sure if this will help. Do you have the front bearing retainer on yet? If so, pop it off and see if it spins. I had that happen on a t87 3 speed before. I must have tightened it up cockeyed and it locked up the front bearing. The bearing retainer also has an oil groove that has to line up. Good luck, hope you figure it out.
