I had my replacement clutch go out on my Competition Clutch AND Flywheel. Somehow my flywheel has burn through marks all over the back of it making it useless now Did this happen to anyone else?

^ they usually make a clicking noise, but you can have some play in them, my front left actually does, if jack up the car with all wheels in the air you can check them all
