Let's try this again. Did you disconnect the linkage rod from the angled bellcrank to the transmission? Yes/No. And did you try the throttles with the engine running and the control pressure link disconnected? Yes/No.
The point of doing the above is to either confirm or rule out the possibility that the unusual force required to move the throttle is a transmission problem.

No, there is not "too much" vacuum. And the lower end work is not a cause.
