So the clutch wasn't fully disengaging and instead, it caused the disk to drag between the pressure plate and flywheel and reduced the life of your transmission. Good find and good decision! Have you given ACT feedback? You could save dozens of people from this same experience if ACT makes a revision.

Ps: I see this crap all the time with my other car and it wrecks expensive synchros. It's nice that clutch options for this car are cheap and plentiful.
