Subaru Blown tranny? = ?

Recently got an ACT clutch kit installed about 1.3K ago and last night I
'launched' or tried to atleast and on my way from first to 2nd KABOOM.

Okay, no kaboom, but it felt like my gears got locked and I could not enter/exit
any gear. Sounded like I dragged something around as well, but inside my engine bay.
Once pulled over, I could on occasion enter certain gears, at times only one and 5,
at other times all gears but fourth.if I tried to roll in neutral on occasion it felt
as if my car was not in neutral and wanted to lag out on me and stall.

So.these are my signs. anybody know exactly what is wrong?

If my tranny is dead, which it probobly is, seems I have to sell all my turbo . DAMN.

and I was only A Fuel Pressure Regulator away from install

So, any insight?

Sounds like you broke the one two shift fork or the shifter itself. Take the shifter out and have alook inside the trans

It sounds like your driving style is hard on the transmission. add that with an aftermarket clutch with more violent friction material and a much stronger pressure plate, and I think it's probably that you broke something in the transmission caused by shock loading the gears throughout a shift.

I could get the transmission open once possible. If you attempt to drive with a damaged transmission you could break more stuff and make the fix costly.
