Questions?? SCTE 2.0 Gearbox / Transmission Binding

I'm in the process of building a new TLR SCTE 2.0 kit.

My diffs themselves are smooth... feels like I got them built right.

Once the diffs are installed into their gearboxes (LOSB3104), when I fully tighten the gearbox screws, the diff binds on part of the rotation. It'll spin freely for 85% of a rotation...then it binds/slows down for the remaining 15% then frees up.

Inspecting the housing, there is VERY LITTLE clearance between the ring gear and the gearbox itself. Suspecting this as the source of the bind I shaved a bit of gearbox plastic material away and it seemed to help. I got them moving in the gearbox smoothly (or so I thought).

However, now that everything is installed onto the chasis... at least one of the three gearboxes is still binding (extra friction, not freezing) on part of the rotation.

Is this a known problem with a known fix? Will the bind work itself out after I run it for a bit (the metal ring gears chewing through whatever plastic is binding and then running free?).

Thanks in ad ance for any pointers!
