Default drivetrain folks step inside. need help.

A few months ago, while i was cruising along in 6th gear, the clutch started slipping a little. Gradually the slip got worse, and moved its way down through the gears. The clutch didn't feel like it was the issue, as this is a spec stage 3 with less than 8k miles. At the same time of clutch install i also did a billet flywheel, new slave, and new master. The car felt like the slave wasn't disengaging all the way causing the slip.

So I pulled the trans, and the clutch was worn, but not to the rivets, and the slave looked like it had been heated up and failed.

here is a pic of the slave.


and the clutch.




I have since replaced the slave, and the master (warrantied them out). The car still doing the same thing, although now she doesn't want to move.

So does this sound like the trans is broken? I have searched and can't really find any similiar problems.

Any help or suggestions be appreciated.

Also. The car can still move it just takes about 6k rpm to get her to rol.

I watched the driveshaft while having someone attempt to move it and it only spins when the the car starts rolling so I believe I eliminated the rear.

No air is in the hydraulics as I mity vac'd it.

Another side note every now and then she would pop out of third gear while driving.

Is it time to crack open the trans and see what's broke?
