Still need to try the gear set in old ring gear.

Though this is starting to sound like either the output shaft is bent / damaged or the bearings.

Still need to try to hand turn without the motor. Just take off the plate & motor assembly.

Or perhaps the motor adapter set pin is hitting something inside.

A quick look inside?

You might have to devote some time to doing this.

Did you clean the teeth on the ring gear before you reassembled?
What are you greasing with?

A piece of chipped gear stuck between teeth can be quite small.

When the output shaft assembly is removed does it turn freely?
