Default 5speed tranny problem

ok, i bought a used 96 sc 5spd and the clutch was worn badly so i just got a oem clutch installed today, however i noticed the transmission is louder than before... also when im in 2nd doing around 10MPH and i accelerate there is this super loud clanking noise until i pass 20MPH.. i thought it could be tranny fluid but he put in 3 QTS of redline?.. is that enough?,.,. would this go away after i break in the clutch???
thanks

I dont think the above post belongs here...

but anyways, did you replace the throwout and pilot bearing as well? was the flywheel torqued down to spec? the noise you are hearing is NOT normal. it will not go away and it will most likely get worse. if i were you, id take the car back first thing in the morning to whomever installed the clutch and have them take it apart again.

could it be the tranny fluid or could it just be the break-in period?
