Ah, OK, that puts a bit of a different slant on some things.
The Layshaft (as opposed to the Laygear) can appear 'tight' to go in, sometimes needing a wee bit more than hand pressure to slide them in, it's not actually from them being 'tight' but from them being pulled out of straight alignment as it goes in, until it picks up the small end.
If you haven't fitted the Input and Pinion Gears then tightened it, it can be tight to turn over as it will drag on 3rd or 4th baulk rings - sometimes both. If you find it tight after tightening these nuts, then it can be from warped or out of round baulk ring(s) or if a late gearbox case, from poor machining of the case.
The Hubs need a fairly good wack to select gears, I use a copper dolly and a soft face hammer to get them to do so. In fact, if you need less than this, the synchro hubs will most likely need some re-work. You should also spin the gears slowly while doing this (and everyone has 3 hands of course).
