act 2600 and lightweight flywheels (aka 9 pound fidanza) are not a good combo, Possibly your flywheel crumbled up and turned into soup?

also your flywheel might of been stepped incorrectly...
 
Before you go suspecting your clutch/flywheel (I run the same combination with no problems), drain your transmission fluid and see if there is any metal in it.

Easy check, and it will tell you if its the transmission or not.
