Sounds like TC clutch failure - this is known to happen with TCI's. Hopefully TCC material has not gotten into the tranny and caused major malfunctions. I'd start by dropping the pan and seeing what's in there. If it looks like TCC failure is at the root of this, contact Kevin Winstead on this board and see what he will arrange for you. With a heavy car like yours (GTO over here) a clutch upgrade is recommended.
