Grinding!!!!!!!!!!!?

[95GSTGuy]

Ok look i got someone that i know to rebuild my motor for my 95 Gs-t and i got it back a couple nights ago. The Next Day when i tryed to start it and it grinded LOUD! So thought it was the starter so i replaced it ( and OH yea THE FLYWHEEL IS BRAND NEW) that didn't work so i popped the clutch and got it started and the it ran. My Friend was looking under the hood and he noticed that when i press the clutch the tranny shifts. THen i also noticed that tranny bolts had loosened and i dont know how they did. I tighted then and it still grinds. SOME ONE TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR?

Possibly, the mechanic that did the work did not torque down the pressure plate to the correct torque specs, and it came loose. And/or the throw out bearing is bad?

Possibly it was not a mechanic at all. Anyway, I don't have too much good to say for you. You might make sure that the two starter bolts aren't loose. That's a possibility . But, if it were me, I would not only be concerned with the rebuild (though there isn't much you can do about that now) but I would also be concerned that there might be a loose flywheel or clutch pressure plate. Both of these problems could cause significant damage. While it may be just the starter (or even the starter line up plate that bolts onto the block) or the clutch fork. I would be forced to at least pull apart the tranny and engine to see what's going on in there.
Good luck,
