Default 34 trans help

Hi. I have been rebuilding my 34 trans for my fordor so it’s been start and stop over a couple a months over getting time and getting parts. Thought I was finishing it off today.
All seemed good, before I had the front bearing retainer tight just snug, put the shifter in tested the gear shifting , seem to work good, pulled shifter back out, tightened up front bearing retainer, then noticed it’s snug to turn by your hand now to snug grab a rag and twist pretty good by hand.
Slack it off a bit, not much, turns over nice feels like it should.
Bought all my parts pretty much from Mac at Vanpelt sales and a few nos pces. So pretty confident everything is correct there. So I must have done something or missed something.
Before I start to dismantle thought I would throw it out there and see what the most likely cause would be ? Something I missed or did on the main shaft assembly I am assuming .
Thanks in advance.
