just had a new clutch installed in my 1994 318i by mechanics who seemingly did not know what they were doing. (really I consider it somewhat my fault for bringing it there...). The transmission fluid now just drips out on the ground. Tomorrow I have an appointment at a BMW dealer to check it out, but can anybody tell me anything about the potentials before the appoinment tomorrow. Before the new clutch, it was perfect. Also, the shifter has moved up about 3-4 inches so 3rd & 5th gear almost hits the dash and both somewhat tricky to engage.

Possible input shaft seal leaking, depending on where the drip is. Also the stick may be 90 degrees out or 180 degrees out. I had the same issue with my 328 and that's what it was per my mechanic.
