OK, after a while, I can finally post the results. The clutch lining is gone. i mean gone. The entire clutch wore away after 3K breakin miles and about 700 normal miles. No racing, no beating it up or riding it.

I am of the suspicion that the pressure plate was defective and the clutch was semi-slipping the entire time, thus leading to premature wear. I am going to go back to stock on the clutch. I am not plannign on modding to the extreme, so I should not need anything rated for a huge amount.
