tranny fluid: GL-4 75w90- usually redline or royal purple work well
as for the fluiding are you doing the proper shut down (IE: rev up to 3000 turn key off and pull it out, and floor it until it stops turning)?

Did you pull the whole drivetrain to change the clutch, or did you just block the engine up and remove the tranny only?
I am asking because I wonder what you could have done or touched on the engine that would cause this problem now if you never had it before.

Okay after mins of thinking in the restroom i might have an ideal of what is happening. On the driver side of your engine bay againest the firewall and right under the oil filter pediastal there is a main engine ground that needs to be bolded to the bell housing. Is a big ground but i manager to missed it the last time i did my clutch. The ground was still touching the engine but it had a pretty contact. The engine felt pretty a little rougher and the starter turn pretty slow when the ground was off. I woudl suggest checking the main engine ground before anything else. Good luck!!

Dude I was about to say the same thing! Years ago i had some friends who swapped an engine and forgot this ground and the car would barely start and wouldnt idle etc.
