ok I just took off the little plate connected to the trans that allows you to see the TO bearing and clutch. When I took off that plate, a few pieces of my flywheel were in there, like 3-4 pea sized pieces. Does this mean that my clutch and/or flywheel is the problem and not the transmission?

If the flywheel is screwed up, will the car not shift into any gears?

In a previous thread, I posted how I couldn't shift into any gears after getting on it a little. With the clutch engaged, the shifter wouldn't go into any gear.

I do have 410 rwhp, so I thought the trans went because it couldn't handle the power. However, I do have a centerforce DF clutch and it should handle this power. Any ideas what the heck is wrong?

Best thing to do is drop the trans and inspect the clutch/fly. I've heard stories of centerforce DF's dying like that before. If those look to be all good (which if you have peices of your flywheel chunking off...they probably aren't lol) then go from there and tear down the trans.

I heard centerforce DFs are a pretty good clutch. What actually have you heard?

I've heard from a few people over at the MPH boards that their centerforce DF's died on them at the track and couldn't hold their power claims - and in a thread I started here a couple people commented that their DF's were loud and didn't live up to their claims.
