Did you remove the flywheel during your transmission work? If so, suspect that it is installed backwards.

If not, suspect that it is bent. Rotate the engine using a socket and ratchet on the front crankshaft pulley bolt. You are checking for the engine feeling loose [easy to turn] followed by it being hard to turn; this would indicate a bent flywheel. Keep in kind that it will get a little easier as the piston(s) go on the power, intake and exhaust strokes.
