Clutch and Flywheel Problem ?

First may I state that I am Fu*kin Pi*sed ! I bought a new clutch and flywheel about a month ago ! I will not say by who but this is crazy !! I got a stage 3 clutch combo kit and had it installed because we all know that our stock stuff sucks . I did exactly everything that was asked of myself during the breakin time . I babied it for 600 hundred miles . Exactly two weeks after my install I started my car and my car would not go into gear at all . I got the car to the shop and dropped the tranny . The clutch disk was gone . I mean to the metal !! I called the merchant directly to cut the distributer out
all together . I got lucky and found one of the most helpful reps of all time ! I told him the problem and he said to pack everything up and ship back . He sent me new everything but the flywheel that was just resurfaced . Everthing was reinstall with new throd bearing just to make sure . I babied
again and even when to 800 mile breakin just to make sure . It is doing the exact same thing again !! I am at a lose for words !! HELP !!!What the problem ?

What brand? IF you don't want to say who makes it, then what is the material of the clutch plate? mettalic, cera-metallic, carbon? Maybe you need a more durable material

Are you running any type of of forced induction that you require a stage 3 clutch? I would go with a more reputablemaker if you are having the same problem. You may also want to check the slave cylinder spring also. But to the best of my knowledge it sounds like the company is producing poor quality products.
