Head of pinion bent,most likely.
Will be tight one spot and loose when you turn pinion 1/2 turn.
Had 12 bolt in 6.1? 1/8 mi.stick car bent pinion about every 35-50 runs,with 300LBS. base and no counterweight on pressure plate.

Did you look at it closely, it may have a bit of rust built up in the tight spot.
