After soaking in the ford friction modifier,
Assembled the clutch packs, with everything in the diff case I can barely rotate the gears by hand. Clutch paks measure in the thickness range as prescribed. Is it normal to be this tight.
With old worn out paks installed it turned freely. 1st time building an 8.8.
Any input is APPRECIATED!!!!!
