There is a note somewhere in the Tremec info that says something can get jammed up inside during shipping and you can remove the access covers to fix it. I know, not very specific help but the input shaft should turn freely using your hand. If not, something is wrong and needs to be dealt with. That plug on the output shaft could do it so remove it and try it out.

BTW - Mike Forte - forteparts.com - is a great source of help, parts, etc.

Also, don't do what I did and fail to get the input shaft length correct for the bellhousing you're using. I crammed the input shaft up into the crank and trashed my thrust bearing as the input shaft ended up 1/2" closer to the front of the car with my new Lakewood.
