Transmission gone after new clutch install This is kind of a 2 part post
1.) June last year, I was at the track running my 99 Camaro. I had a McLeod RST twin disk, so i was doing pretty heavy dumps for a stock rearend, figuring I'd break an axle before the clutch went. It was a slow night at the track, so we were able do get probably 10 passes in, and on my last pass, I could feel the clutch starting to slip. I make 427rwhp, so i was kinda dumbfounded when this started. By July last year, the clutch was toast. I'm a poor college student, so it took me until November to come up with enough money for a replacement, just so i could get back on the street. Now that I'm down again with trans issues (part 2) I'm looking into a nice clutch set-up. If I fried a supposedly 800hp clutch, will the RXT be the better choice? Or should i try another setup?

I got a used Kentucky Clutch, which is a reputable company here, with only 100 miles on it rated for 450 ft/lbs. Once it was installed, everything felt great again. About a month went by and i was messing around with my buddy who has a T/A on N2O, and when i tried to get it into second, it wouldn't go, so i beat the **** out of it until it did, winnings winning right haha. After i got to the top of 2nd, i let out, due to "obstacles" ahead. At this point i was in neutral, and it would go into any gear, so we slowed down and pulled into a near by car wash. After the car was off for a minute, I was able to get it back into gear, so we took off. From here it started to shake, and the shaking got more violent as the RPM's rose. I have no idea what the problem is here. I plan on sending it to Tick Performance to get a stage 3 build done, once i get the money, but i would like to know what the problem is now, so i could possibly fix it now and send it off to be rebuilt over the winter. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
