I also come from a similar story, the TOB in these early cars have grease that can't withstand high temp -- they fail much earlier than the clutch. I had to replace mine around 63k, that's when I went with the ACT clutch kit.
8k later, I struggle to get it into gear from a stop. I love the feel of the lightened flywheel, but I would stick to an OEM clutch until ACT solves this issue.

Well that is not good news at all, I have not had any slippage as of yet, but starting 1st gear is a PITA with the clutch catching at essentially the resting point, and shifting is dodgy at best at the moment.
Is it possible to pair the OEM clutch with a lighter flywheel? I feel like I could deal with the OEM clutch if rev matching was a little easier.
I wonder if a faulty TOB caused the premature wear of the clutch as opposed to faulty driving.
