SR Transmission woes, clutch won't engage?

So here is the deal. I had an sr20 swap done about 2 months ago.

Yesterday, I was driving along, taking my girl out to see Harry potter, noticing my car felt like it was stuttering(Like when you are driving thirty, and put it in fifth), then about 10 miles down the road... BAM, I go to shift from fourth to fifth, and the engine revs to like 5k when I put my foot on the gas.

Clutch did not engage at all for some reason. I'm with my girl at the time, so to be safe I pull over. Engine is fine. Everything is fine. Clutch will not engage at all.

I have no clue wtf could have happened, but I let the car idle, and tried shifting gears. I shifted without pushing the clutch down, while the car is at idle. How is that possible? 1st, all the way to fifth, as if the car was off, and no clutch needed.

I turned it back on, and I smelt a burning/rotten egg smell, so I quickly shut it off.

If it helps, a few things to help me diagnose the issue:
1.)Anytime at idle, since about two months ago, there would be a light tapping noise from the trans, kinda like tapping lifters, and it would go away whenever I pushed the clutch in(I assumed TOB?).

2.)On a cold start, I would hold the clutch down in neutral, and whenever I would let off the clutch(in neutral), RPMs would drop from 1400-1200. When I push the clutch pedal back in, it shot back up to 1400. WTF?

3.) There is an aftermarket HEAVY ASS CLUTCH in there from the original swap. I'm talking about your leg is hurting after 10/12 seconds of holding the clutch down.
Any ideas on what the hell is going on?

I suspected my TOB might have gone bad(it was the original from the swap), but I thought that would just make it so I can't shift gears? Is it possible the clutch fork broke/bent due to the heavy clutch?
Any ideas? It's 100% not my Master or Slave, I know this for a fact.
