When I listen to Ch. 38 LSB, the frequency counter displays about 27.3847
when
i tune the clarifier to hear the other people's voices well.

However, when I transmit, the frequency counter jumps up to 27.3855.

So I assume I am transmitting at 27.3855, but when I tune to this
frequency
with the clarifier, everyone sounds way too high in pitch, I can't even
understand them.

Your clairifier is adjusting the receive. Not every radio in the world is
completly in sync with each other. You will frequently need to adjust your
clairifier to properly hear another signal. It doesn't mean there's
necessarily anything wrong with your radio. BTW - your radio should be
transmitting on 27.3850 for channel 38, but that extra 5 on the end really
isn't going to make a difference.
