Need advice on products

Well, the tragic end to my stock 04 tranny: Driving down the highway on a busted transmission, went to shift into 3rd gear and CRACK clutch pedal goes to the floor and didnt come back up. Found a good deal on a new tranny, now im looking to upgrade the clutch and flywheel. I need some suggestions on what type and who to buy from. Looking for something well made and fit for 1/4 mile runs at the track, but also not insanely expensive. The tranny cost 1200, dont really wanna spend more than 1800-1900 total after clutch and flywheel. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Thanks,
Casanova

I think he is saying both went? Or he is replacing the pedal at the same time just because?

yeah but since he already broke his the bhr would make more sense. they both do the same thing anyway.
