After you replaced the clutch & flywheel with the Carolina Clutch kit. Did everything work as it should? No difficulty getting the clutch to release initially? No unusual sounds? No need to pull the transmission in with trans bolts the last little bit?

The damage you describe sounds like the guide tube made contact with the disc hub during the new Carolina Clutch Kit install.

You really need to check the stack height of the Carolina Clutch kit, BEFORE reinstalling the transmission with a new guide tube or you may be repeating the problem.

You said you were removing the trans to do some clutch work. What was the problem you were having that required more clutch work after installing the Carolina Clutch kit just a few months ago?
