drivetrain service required screen????

i just put the clutch in my car a day ago and now the service required screen for the drivetrain is on.....?!?!? the AWC? atf that you fill in the trunk is about half a quart low but i have to wait til monday to fill it because i was told that you can only get that fluid from the dealer and the closest is 4 hrs away....yes i figured i was going to need some kinda fluid after we got done...i just wasn't expecting to HAVE to get it from the dealer......unless one of you guys know of something else i can use that works the same or better. anyways back to the service required screen. it comes and goes. but it always comes back on when im starting to go in first. is the car just being funny bcuz the new clutch period? Could that fluid being low do that? I guess i could call the dealership and ask them instead of asking you guys but i don't want to because when i called to order the fluid i had to argue with the guy for 30 minutes because he was trying to tell me that i had to have an MR if i needed atf fluid. he didn't want to believe that i had the GSR.....sometimes i hate being a girl. Anyways, any serious help would be gratly appreciated oh yeah and we pulled the motor when we changed the clutch if that makes a difference with anything.

it is just the fluid level, had the same issue when i got the clutch changed out. just get the fluid you have on order and fill it up. the light should go off.

Low by only a half quart shouldn't be too big of a problem. However, if it is lower than you think, and you feel a lag in the pickup of the car, definitely stop and wait to get your hands on the fluid.
