I have a 99 eclipse gs with a manual trans and im having trouble with noises coming from the transmission, I took the little end plate off because I thought it was an inspection plate and I was trying to diagnose why the car wouldnt stay in 5th gear without holding it, all I saw were the 2 bearings for the input and intermediate shafts, so I put the plate back on, drained the trans and filled it with some 80w 90 gear oil. The car made no noises before but now when I decelerate in gear it makes a terrible grinding noise until I hit the gas or push the clutch in, the car made no noises before that and it went great except for the 5th gear issue, any ideas what could have caused it?
