i need some transmission advice!

I think my car is dead..

so i had my clutch replaced in April 2016 with a competition carbon/kevlar disc clutch kit. my clutch pedal was so stiff after this was done that a few months later the pedal snapped. this was repaired right around the end of my 500 mile break in process. i havent beaten on the car since the clutch was replaced. for about the last month ive been hearing a whining sound coming from underneath the car. i looked into this noise and thought it might be the input shaft bearing in the transmission. 4 or 5 days ago i started hearing some chatter from the rear end? and it sounded like a belt squeal from the front of the car. today i went to go get the belts done, which didnt end up happening. i was pulling out of my driveway and heading up a hill. the car was pretty noisy and hesitant to climb up the road. i went to shift into 2nd and the car said no. i didnt even realize as i shifted into neutral and took my foot off of the brake that the car wasnt rolling backwards. im assuming my transmission is done for. does anyone have any input on this? if it is the transmission, should my clutch still be ok? and what options do you recommend for me from here. another sr tranny? rebuild it? are there better options/upgrades? i appreciate any help!!

Clutch was so stiff, you snapped a steel clutch pedal?

Jesus. That's not right. I'm surprised a hydraulic component didn't burst.

I would recommend just taking it to your local shop and have them diagnose it for you (usually around $80).... transmissions are no fun to try and mess around with and you could end up doing more harm than good by accident
