james- good luck finding a transmission any where near here. im pretty sure we know where most of the turbo'd balts are around here and they are all in working order. well...except yours. like i said, i know a guy that does a really good job at rebuilding trans. but if you said yours blew a hole in the side of it then that wouldn't work.
this is going to be long...but you need to read it.
i called kentucky clutch today and asked them about getting a clutch for my car. they said the only kit they had was an 8 puck style disc (assuming this is the one you got) but it only comes with the stock pressure plate. so i proceed to ask them how much just the disc is and i will re use my pressure plate. they said they didn't reccomend that i do that. they said the clutches on our cars are self adjusting and there isn't really much of a way to change them back once they have adjusted. so, my pressure plate has already adjusted to my worn out disc and putting just a new disc in there will either blow your slave cylinder or make it to where the clutch won't engage. i don't remember his exact wording, but basically he told me that if im going to replace my clutch. its better to just do it all at once otherwise im gonna **** some **** up. he told me that a dealership came in and had them put in a clutch in a cobalt and they only put the disc in because thats all the dealership wanted. well...the cobalt ended up coming back and they had to replace some other **** on it.
what im getting at here is, could this possibly be the reason for the demise of your transmission?

No my tranny went out either because of torque output or gm stupid ass trying to force my 3rd gear or it was just fucked up when I bought it... which I'm leaning to #3. I would also replace the slave /throwout bearing, clutch. Friction disc and the pressure plate. Ide get some fine grit sand paper and clean that flywheeel up if it has a lot of heat take it off and get it cleaned up.
