I went to leave and the clutch when completely down the ground and didn't come back up. NO CLUTCH AT ALL!! I looked under the car and ther was 4 square holes on the drain side of the trans. Is this normal. As they were leaking. I used a paper towel to wipe it off and I ran my finger thru it. It was black and smelt like burnt clutch. Car is a 13 m6 ss with 14k miles. Did my clutch go out. I start the car and get this loud screech now from my trans. What could it be

Sounds to me that you fried your clutch.
I would take it to the dealer immediately.
There are quite a few Chevy dealers in Phoenix.
Good luck.

are you hard on it? most people who kill their clutch aren't surprised because it takes some pretty abusive driving to do it that fast.

your leaking fluid that is exceptionally bad like as in you hitting something on the pan..... Or the internals going bye bye. You better limp it somewhere...with a tow truck as our trans are sealed......... or find the fill and fill it to the point you can pump it up. Ever change your brake fluid? they share the same reservoir if you have not changed the fluid, it could be filthy. The clutch fluid darkens with dirt a lot more than the brake fluid I know I just changed my separate reservoir I installed from a holden that I got on gen5diy here look at this:

I wouldn't drive it anywhere and get it to the Chevy dealer Monday ASAP, since they are closed Sundays. These clutches aren't forgiving much on slippage unfortunately. Could be lots of things inside tho, but leaking fluid isn't a good sign tho.
