If there's one difficult area per turn of both wheels; it would be on the diffgear.
If it's roughly 2 to 3 times per turn of both wheels: check the topshaft and idlers first.
You could also try taking the gears out and reassembling one by one: driving the wheels and spur by hand you'd feel the problem disappear when the guitly element is removed (if it's only one)

Thanks for the advice. Its the most helpful info I've gotten from a couple sources. I had greased the transmission gears so what i noticed was that on the idlers and diff gear there were places where the grease had been pushed all the way to the "bottom" of the teeth. I figured this was where there was some binding so I ran the exacto through these areas.
After reassembly it was much better, but still some binding. I've run a few packs through it and now its much smoother.
