Everything should turn relatively easily by hand. My first guess would be one of the bushings is not at proper depth and second would be some spacer or thrust washer was omitted or not right thickness. Does the direct drive clutch plate move freely when just that section is assembled? Does the reactor assy in fig 54 turn properly per drawing? Are the tangs in the rear washer in fig 63 clearing the bolts and spacer on pump half? Somewhere there has to be a point where things are not free and would look there or just before.
