Default new clutch on gsr swapped eg..problems..

help...was running a six puck, the clutch went out.after pulling the clutch i realized the flywheel was scrap so i ordered both.got a new exedy three puck, and a lightweight flywheel.i bought all new bolts and cleaned everything before reassembly.. i greased all suggested locations and used high temp thread lock on all bolts..the kit came with a new bearing for the flywheel and a throw out bearing as well..everything has ben torqued to spec..i started the car with the front end still on jackstands, and the front wheels spun.. the car is in neutral and when i depress the clutch the wheels stop spinning..before i road test her, did i do something wrong?? ohh i also refilled the tranny with royal purple synchromax i think....please help.. motor is b18c tranny is outta a ls

royal purple synchromax is for GM manual trans requires AT fluid, not very good for hondas i had those in my older integra they made reverse grind like hell, i didnt grind in reverse before i put those in.

yea its spinning just from friction. perfictly normal. i.e. yesterday i snapped an axle and with the car in nutral the axle would spin even with LSD.

and like stated above please do your self the favor and change fron RP asap to OEM honda trans fluid

changed the rp out this morning put in synthetic 10w40 valvoline.dropped the car back on its wheels and didnt pull forward in neutral drove about fifty miles with the new clutch and flywheel.a minimal amount of chatter while leaving a stop and shifts are smooth.kept rpms at 4500 before shifting..trying to break things in gently..seams like rpm's climb smooth and fast..
