Blown Clutch Apparent, but more problems?
 
as the title says I blew my clutch...I NLS from 4-5 last night while I was racing a Trailblazer SS and it slipped SOOOO bad! Now anything over 2300rpm slips pretty bad...but I'm having other issues as well I believe...when I downshift, I have to revmatch no matter what...it just wont let me into a lower gear without proper rpms....and sometimes the clutch wont engage at all, and I'll be locked out of all gears for a few seconds....help would be appreciated...I'm tuned to 25psi and I have basic bolt-ons...so I'm running around 300-330whp I believe, I'm looking into the SPEC stage 3 from Turbotech so I can hold more power in the future...

Why in gods name were you NLS'ing from 4th to 5th???

Also, Why did you need to be going that fast to race a TSS in the first place?

So you fu*ked up your clutch and maybe even your tranny street racing, like that was a real smart thing to do

You hadn't already won the race by almost 140mph?

THIS^ to the OP, These are not top end car's like that for future reference and racing past 140 is pointless as you about at the DRAG limited top speed, Well id say toasted clutch and prolly bent shift linkage, Check your shift linkage! If it all looks straight id say your trans is on it's way out.. Seen a few IRLS Have this problem right before there trans completely Blew apart!

Well, for one, you should have no need to have NLS'd close to 140 mph... You really need to scavenge every last millisecond at that rate of speed???

Next, you are tuned. NLS while tuned becomes a bit risky as the largely increased amount of torque from being tuned shocks the clutch so much harder and then that's multiplied in the higher gears.

Everything you did added up to too much stress on the transmission and ultimately led to the failure you've experienced.
