Please help
Background info: Changed out my old driveshaft and u-joint w/ used ones from a parts car of mine. I was having a problem putting the driveshaft back and i noticed a "bowl-like" washer, possibly oil seal, that was loose on the end of the transmission side (where the driveshaft slides over). It seemed like it was suppose to push back in the driveshaft, but it wouldnt go in evenly so i just left it sitting loosely.
Anyways, i start my car up and it drives fine. The only difference is i hear a "winding up" noise when i accelerate (like an electric radio controlled car or something).
I was driving down the highway, after about 80 miles after i replaced the d/s, and i start hearing a chatter from under my gearbox (where the d/s meets the tranny). It only chatters once every 20 seconds or so. I remember that no oil leaked out of my tranny once i pulled the d/s out so i figured it might have been low on oil so i go to walmart to have an oil change, in which they check the trann. fluid (b/c i have no way of jacking up the car). On the receipt it shows they checked the fluid, but do they check trann. fluid on manual trann. cars?
I leave and driving through stop lights my car begins making a horrible grinding noise. I stop and mess around with it. When my clutch in pushed down=no noise, but when it is let up and the d/s starts spinning it grinds so bad. Even when the car is turned off and rolling it chattered a little. I started my car in gear and tried driving it, but it grinded so bad and made such a high pitched noise i pulled over again.
I just replaced the clutch and throw-out bearing less than a year ago, could this be it? Or no trann. fluid, or that washed like thing i told about?
Please help!

ska is pretty good

well, I had the same thing wrong with my clutch a few weeks ago (except for the winding noise by the driveshaft) , and it turned out to be my throwout bearing and my pilot bearing. it sounds like basically the same thing I had wrong with mine, so I'd get those things checked out. and sorry if I'm wrong.

Well, if the noise stops when the clutch pedal is depressed, it's not the throwout brg. The bearing is turning when the pedal is depressed, as well as the pilot bearing, but the transmission is not and you say no noise. If car is stopped and there is noise in neutral and pedal released, transmission problem. Check fluid, but it may be too late as that was probably the rear seal on the front of the driveshaft.

ska is pretty good

but if there's like a winding noise when it's in neutral and stopped, then it IS your throwout bearing, because that's what happened with me, and I got it replaced, and now it's perfect
