If your fingerstyle isn't sounding clean, that might be part of the problem.
This was my experience, too. And there are a lot of left hand positions that I never used while I was strumming. I thought finger style was all about the right hand, silly me! Getting that left hand into position when changing chord shapes is a challenge, but practice and patience does wonders.
