Make sure the clutch is not riding into the trans case because the c clip failed. A clip holds it from hitting the case. You can get a spacer to go on it that sits in the splines and will not fail.

I'd take the clutch off and inspect the shaft. Since the shaft is steel and the clutch parts aluminum I'm not sure how they could harm the hardened shaft, but wear is possible as is bearing failure inside on the shaft. Should be able to see what is going on with the clutch off.

I've not seen one fail, maybe others here have.
