When I shift into different gears I can hear and feel the gears changing as I shift. Specifically, below my right forearm as I shift I kept feeling a faint noise like something was hitting the armrest underneath my arm. I had never felt or heard anything prior to the replacement and prior to repair it was smooth shifting through all gears. Do I need to allow the car to go through a break-in period?
Also, as the car was idling the RPMS would bounce from the idle point of 600 RPMS then up to 7-800 RPMs and then dip down to 480 RPMS and back to 600 RPMS every 15 seconds or so - the AC was on. When I have the AC off it holds at 600 RPMS which is normal from previous operation. The RPM fluctuations would happen every now and again before when my AC was on, but it has me concerned as I just picked up the car up and I'm experiencing these different things.
Should I give it a fee days for the car to adjust to the new clutch? I'm not tech savy enough to know if that has anything to do with it, but any feedback is appreciated.
The car has about 53500 miles - 2013.
Thanks.

500 mile break in period on any new clutch that ive ever seen. Its normal to smell a little burn on the initial few miles. Its gonna be a lot more notchy shifting especially is they used some rlly gewd trans fluids. Also Rpms sound normal for me with the AC on. Try cranking the ac fan to full with the temp on lo and see if it dips alot less. Not sure what if any sensor has to be removed when doing the job but I know i had a clutch job on a FWD car that has some sensors removed and they forgot to hook one back up. That threw a CEL though so its probably nothing to worry about.

I hope this is a serious question and ur not trollin because im about to answer it lol. The drive shaft has to come out first so trans fluid will pour out of that end and then you got a mess.
