Default 3 different clutches 2 slaves and still slipping

I installed a stock replacement clutch about a year ago with new flywheel, pp, tob, clutch dish, slave, and pilot bearing. Only slipped one time at the track on slicks hot lapping it. So about 4 months ago it starts slipping on street tires. So I think the clutch is just bad. So I buy a monster stage 3, pull the trans and the clutch looks perfectly fine. So i still put in the monster stage 3 complete kit with everything. After break in it slipped. Then bought a spec stage 1 and now after brake in it slips. I have used two different slaves also. The clutch basically slips no matter what at wot. I have bled the clutch many times. I measure for clearance and didn't need a shim. Which would only make it worse. And also everytime I put the trans back in the tob is literally touching the pp fingers when the bellhousing still has about half a inch till the trans touches the bellhousing. I litterally have to slowly bolt it back up every time. With my stock replacement clutch that never happened. And I dropped the trans about 10 times now and only has done this with aftermarket cluch. So basically what I'm saying is somehow some way the tob is putting pressure on the fingers and causing the clutch to not fully engage.

Each time you removed the clutch disc, was the surface glazed or heat warped? Is it possible that your rear diff is slipping?
