I put Fox Transfer SL 31.6 on my Spark PRO 2019 and when I tighten the seat clamp (even just 3Nm) it affects lifting. I feel it when lowering but it stuck when moving back...
Does anyone have a similar problem?

That's common for uneven force distribution seat clamp on light-weight dropper post.
Specifically, big lip on top of the seatpost clamp make the clamping force concentrate on the lower part because the the top lip resist against the clamping force from the bolt.
My Bike Yoke Divine SL also had that problem. Switch to seat clamp like Bike Yoke Squeezy seat clamp fixed it for me.

I bought a Transfer SL factory in August and had the exact same problem : binding in the lowest position if I torque more than 2,8Nm. The problem is neither the seatpost clamp nor the friction paste used, the problem is the seatpost itself. FOX has acknowledged the problem with my seatpost, it was returned mid september and I am still waiting for it... (yeah I know
)
