Default SPEC 3 most likely gone

Last Wednesday I was at the track and my car did ok until the last pass I made. It was sounding like my cluth or something was slipping but wasn't sure. On the way home I tried to pick up speed and my rpms went up but I did not gain any real speed. Since then I have driven it once and it does the same thing I am planning on pulling the tranny today to see what happened. I was slipping the clutch some since I am still running a stock 10 bolt I figured it would go before the clutch did but hey guess not. lol If anyone has had anything similar happen let me know I would kinda like to get an idea to if I should even bother getting the SPEC 3 replaced if it is bad and deemed my fault or just get the SPEC 3+. I am planning on sticking with spec for now because I am going to go to an auto soon enough.

Ok well this was kina weird. I pulled the cluth and for some reason my pilot bearing just popped out I don't know if that could have had anything to do with my clutch not working but the pads on the cluth wore unevenly. What could cause that?

Is the pilot bearing broken too? That will cause uneven wear on a clutch and kill it.

The piolt bearing is in one peice but there is pitting on the outside and the inner portion slides out just a little bit.
