Maybe doing it up to tight, I do mine up then back half to one full turn, its a habit left from my B4 days. I have always found transmissions on 2wds will bind if you cram all the screws up as tight as you can. does seem strange as the front screws mouldings are outside the transmission, only things I could think of looking at mine are drive cups fouling wishbones (It's a rude thing to ask but are the wishbones the correct sides?) or something not wright with the anti squat shims and plastic inserts that the screws go through
