When I downshift the winding noise increases significantly and has an extremely large amount of resistance compared to stock; as if I am forcing the gear in. At one point I was worried that I was damaging the gears, so I left it in neutral and braked.

Maybe I'm the only one with this issue, but I'm going to get it removed.

Also, Yes I have it in the correct orientation.
Did you support the gearbox with a jack/lift during install?
Are you sure the driveshaft/propshaft was bolted back in correctly?

This sounds nothing like a bushing issue - I'd get a professional to check it ASAp
