Default Please help!!! Clutch or transmission???

Hey guys, I have a problem with my 06 base . car makes about 800rwhp with stock bottom end and stock tranny so Im never too surprised when something breaks. However I'm trying to figure out if it's the clutch or the transmission this time. It has a twin disk monster clutch in it Rated for over 1000hp. I was coming out of a gas station and got on it a little bit when all of a sudden I get this obnoxious grinding and clunking sound. I pull over immediately. The car will go in to gear but the sound is too unbearable to take. It goes away when you push the clutch in but soon as it disengages it comes right back. Anybody ever have this problem or can tell me what the problem may be?

You described how is sounds and from what you said I'd say the transmission, but how does it drive?

I haven't tried driving it with fear of messing things up more.

Then I'd have it flat bedded to a repair facility.
