Hey. sorry to hear about your experiences. but this is what went down with me.

i had a series of "Hoonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggg" noises coming from the tranny when the car was pretty much stock.

when i had the supercharger installed, it was time to swap out the stock clutch and flywheel for racing versions.

to my amazement, my flywheel was spotted as well

i removed it from the encasing and examined it more..
infact those spots were heat soaked patches that i had inflicted onto my flywheel from a few too many "spirited" driving sessions and of course, learning to drive stick on the car.

i asked my mechic if he could just resurface the flywheel. his reply was no. it was so heat soaked that i would have to machine down too much of the flywheel to get the spots off. and man, if you saw these spots you would laugh just as hard as i did.

dont worry about it. resurfacing the flywheel is a bit dangerous. i dont recommend it unless the heat spot is minute. but becareful going with an aftermarket flywheel like i did. revs a lot faster, but i have trouble starting the car, which i though was the starter, but its not.

good luck
