Transmission grinds in 2nd and 3rd bad, before and after new TOB

[Spoolio]

ok heres the deal, my clutch was on its way, and my car had a grinding issue in 2nd and 3rd gear, pretty bad, also if i just sat there and let it idle, you could here something inside of the transmission that sounded like metal chunks slapping around inside, so when i pushed the clutch in it would go away even if it was in netruel, so i figured wow since im doing this clutch and new TOB this problem should go away, guess again, i start it up and still you can here crap slapping inside the tranny and it still grinds, but if you push the clutch in or even go into gear the sound instantly goes away, i dont hear anything while im driving either, the only time the noise comes back is if i put it in neutruel and take my foot off the clutch then bam its back again, it has a brand new TOB, what could be going on?, you guys think i may be low on tranny fluid? or maybe i need some syncroshift?, cause the grinding in 2nd and 3rd doesnt grind bad until the car warms up or it is running at optimal engine temp. so im guessing once that tranny warms up my oil thins out and starts to grind my gears?, i also live in south florida so its pretty hot out everyday im ushally driving in 90degree weather on a daily basis

How many miles on tranny, did you change the tranny fluid?
How did the fluid look?
Sounds like input shaft bearing. Hard to say over internet.

the tranny has 148k on it, i never changed the fluid in it and i doubt its ever been changed.
