Hey everyone! I’m kinda new here so it’s awesome to be on the forum. I had a quick question.

So recently I changed my clutch out on my 2013 Scion FR-S and of course changed the gear oil. I used Royal Blue. I know some people have said that it’s crap but I read that after I threw it into the car. I think I might have overfilled it because my car is running a bit sluggish. Is that maybe the new clutch getting broken in or is that a common issue with too much oil? When I plugged it the car was still weeping a steady stream of oil, but I couldn’t feel a pool of oil when my finger went in so I assumed it was below the line. I’m a bit confused. This is my second clutch job, the first being on a manual Jeep, so any advice would be appreciated.

Also, my shifter falls into gear without needing the clutch. I’m assuming that means my clutch pedal needs adjusting, but any reassurance on that?

Thanks a bunch
