Yes there is oil in the engine, Yes there is 2 bottles full of transmission oil... i dont know if if filled it up...., I used cheveron synthetic somthing 80w-30 gear oil, When i got home it was smoking and it looked like it was mainly coming from the tranny(most from area where clutch is), Yes i have a new oil filter. WTF...

80w-30??? Why did you put that in???

You should have used a 90w-75. I think that's what it is.

Yeah, if you burned the clutch up, exactly what you described would happen.

OOPS MY MISTAKE... It wasnt 80w-30 it was 80w-90, i put this stuff kuz the lady who worked at kragen said most compacts take these. Last night i put more in (4 bottles) and now it picks up fine and doesnt make that FKED up sound backing up.

Shouldn't have taken 4 bottles. Should have taken 2.5 to 3 bottles.

It's cool, I'm taking the car to my dads friend who is a mechanic, I'll just let him check everything i did. If its wrong i'll just hope he can fix it.... Unfortunatly not for free....
