Stage 3 disc shattered


So I bought a brand new lsd f35 transmission brand new southbend stage 3 clutch and oem flyhwheel, my mechanic installed everything I noticed when I got the car back it made a little shatter noise until I pressed down the clutch and it went away, also sometimes it didn’t want to go into first or revserve and I told him he said we would just need to realign it okay no problem, 2 days later about 60k on the new clutch I came to a stop sign so I tried to push in the clutch and it was really hard to push down but I went to the floor, was it was fully pressed I heard a whining buzzing sound for a few seconds then I took my foot off the clutch.. then it wouldn’t go in any gear.. so i shut it off put it in first and then turned it on but when I turned it on it make a cracking /grinding noise and I knew something broke so I turned it off and towed it back to the mechanic, he took it apart and the disc was completely shattered and the throwout bearing was messed up. I was babying the car I shifted under 3k I don’t understand why this happen if someone could explain my mechanic said he has no idea.

Answer = Southbend
love the clutch. They just like to blow up on their own.
Also that looks like a stage 4! Realistically nothing new to see. If under warranty. They can get replaced. I love the clutch. Just hate it when it goes boom. Has happened to me like 5 times.
