As it turns it feels like ....bump....bump....bump.... its not gritty or anything, it feels smooth.

I sanded the plates in circular motion with 600 wet/dry paper. The rest as the manual says.

Any idea why this is happening? Do i need to run it in by applying low voltage?

Thanks!
Sounds like your diff rings aren't flat. I'd keep sanding them.
