Try pulling off the rear tranny and leave the slipper attached. Remove the belt. Try to spin the spur gear and see if it binds. If it does, leave the slipper attached and take apart the rear diff case and remove the diff. Try to spin it again. if it still binds, remove the middle gear and try to spin, if it still binds, you will know for sure it is the shaft and slipper assembly that is wrong. The inside sliper plate should not be rubbing against anything but the slipper pad. If your missing a part, it might be binding on the case or the motor plate. Just systematically slows disassemble the rear tranny until you find the binding peace.
The front spins freely, until I tighten the rear. Then the front is binding. It's not to the point where you can't turn it, but it's not as free as it was prior to tightening. Here's a link to a youtube video that I posted before that shows what I'm talking about

This is with the belt undone. Front spins, back binds. I'll try to take it apart piece by piece.
