Someone brought up the issue of what direction the shaft

The rotation is only important if an OD is attached. Clockwise is the right
direction.
>From my experience... if my recall is working. The resistance you decribe
sounds normal. Judgement is required here... it should turn freely taking into
account how much mechanical advantage and normal drag is in play. It should
be easier to turn the input shaft in 1st and reverse and hardest in 4th.
