Default tranny burned?

Hey guys, I was rolling to the house when i tried to pass a car up and all of a sudden my tranny rev'd up to 6,000 rpms. I knew something with the tranny happened. I changed the fluids in it around 3 weeks ago and everything was fine. So I pull into my neighborhood and it starts making a loud noise like something was hittin inside, at first I thought motor but no gears went in, not even reverse. So I wanna hear from you all what you all think? Its an a4 and what tranny should i go with? Ya I will do some racing and I will spray, so let me know. It had a shift kit, 3500 TCI SSF as well. Are those things going to be usable or should I get something else?

Changing your fluid in your trans toasted it.
