Can you push the car in neutral on the ground?
Tires not hitting the wheel well?

I can, and they don't but I can definitely see I'm going to need some spacers. I got all up in there and looked/felt around both sides. Close, but absolutely no contact.Can you push the car in neutral on the ground?
Tires not hitting the wheel well?
Yes, this. I have absolutely done this and the run under power in both forward and reverse.FIRST, I am not clear about something. You say the wheels roll when the car is off the ground. But, do they roll under power in drive and reverse? Or are you just rolling them by hand? If I were you.... I would get the car safely up in the air. Start car with foot on brake. Pull it into drive, and see if the wheels still resist moving. Hit the brake again, to get the wheels completely stopped. Then do the same in reverse. That MAY tell you more about the condition. Then, I would pull the pan and drain the fluid. look and see if there is much debris or metal particles in pan. Pull the filter and check for obstruction. Let us know what you find.
From the video there doesn't seem to be a trans issue. Now we have a new piece of information. What spacers are we talking about? Have the wheels or brakes just been apart or changed?I can, and they don't but I can definitely see I'm going to need some spacers. I got all up in there and looked/felt around both sides.

Changed to Wilwood discs all around. The wheels roll easy while up in the air and the car rolls on the ground. I've also tested the brakes while the wheels were spinning in neutral while off the ground.From the video there doesn't seem to be a trans issue. Now we have a new piece of information.

All hoses were replaced. I've done that solo and the behavior was as expected. Great suggestion, I wish that was it.I'm going to throw out something else. When the brakes were done, were the rubber hoses replaced? I had a problem once on an old Dodge. The brake hose on a front wheel was swelling up on the inside. When the brakes were applied, the hydraulic pressure forced the fluid into the wheel cylinder and locked up that brake. It took a while for the fluid to ease back through the restriction and let the brake release. I burned up the brakes on that one wheel before I figured out what was happening. So, is it possible that your one or more of your brakes is locking up even after you release the pedal? But yet, leaking down over the course of a couple of minutes after the pedal is released? Try getting the car up in the air and have someone apply the brakes. Then see how long it takes for the wheels to turn freely after the brake pedal is released.
In the trans?From what it sounds like to me it’s a band issue. Something is binding up on you.
I have mentioned that a couple of times. I had the band start binding up in my Dodge pickup. It would act like it was locking up in reverse, kind of like what we heard in the video, and then BANG it would cut loose. I did a fluid and filter change, and adjusted the bands as per the factory manual. No problem any more. But this OP does not seem to be able or willing to pull the transmission pan and check things out.From what it sounds like to me it’s a band issue. Something is binding up on you.
This is the message where I explicitly mentioned my access the to trans. It may indeed be what you mentioned but I'm of course going to learn what I can and explore low hanging fruit first.I'm using a scissor lift so I need to check access to the pan. I really need to upgrade to a bendpak low profile 2 post for complete access. It would make sense with all of the other cars play with.
Did you try it in manual low gear?This is the message where I explicitly mentioned my access the to trans. It may indeed be what you mentioned but I'm of course going to learn what I can and explore low hanging fruit first.
