Question Car Broke AGAIN!!!

Well it looks as if my car has given me the middle finger once again. I had just installed my red a few weeks ago and put down 520... I only had the red on my car for 2 weeks till something broke.

I was in 3rd gear just cruising at 25-30mph. I then rolled into it around 3k and hit full boost (32lbs) by 4k and then at 4.000001k the car broke. The car felt like I hit really bad misfire, however I'm almost positive it was not a misfire. The car jerked pretty hard and the car locked up and felt like I was rolling on triangle tires till the car came to a hault on the side of the road. The motor seems to be okay. My first though was my Red destroyed my motor but now I think it just destroyed my drivetrain. You can not drive the car forward or backwards, feels like your going to stall... However if you turn the car off and get out, you can push the car backwards just like normal but the car wont budge forward. Once we towed the car to my house we couldn't even get the damn thing off the tow truck. So clearly something is fused and locked up, keeping the car from moving forward

I think it's the clutch, tranny, or transfercase. HELP

If i shear the teeth off will that make it lock up if you try to push the car forward? The car will roll like butter if you push it backwards... That's what is confusing me. What would make the car not roll forward but it will roll backwards with ease. Before anyone says anything the brake was off, was not in gear, and I even pushed the clutch in etc...
