Sounds like the limited-slip chunk is gone. Good Luck

The springs that hold the tension on the clutches in the rear are notorious for breaking. The DTE stage 2 includes only OE clutches. You need to get a HD clutch pack from someone and have it installed. Maybe it will subside when as the rear cools. You will need to do another burn out to see if there is permanent damage. As for tranny upgrades, if you're dragging the car, you should get a DTE brace and I would upgrade all of the internals to triple carbon blockers, billet keys, bronze fork pads etc. Your rear end had better have a 3-rib case too.
