Default destroyed 3-4 clutch

was racing after doing a few mods, hit nitrous (this is a buddys car btw...2000 firebird trans am) for the first time and it started pulling pulling pulling then smacked the rev limiter so he let off and pulled over to see what was up, turned off the nitrous and started going again, 1st and second worked fine then when it went to go to 3rd, it just revs up...

i am gonna get a rebuild kit... how hard is this to install? also... any possiblity its something else? everywhere i read it sounds like 3-4 clutch

Yes that would be a 3-4 clutch issue. As for rebuilding one. If you have not done one before, Allow lots of time. Hopefully not but be prepaired to remove and install the trans more than once.You will need several speciality tools. And lots andlots of patience.
