on my clutch disic only one side{ t/m side} the friction pads are gone but the other side{f/w side } still look in good shape. The material that came out was like cotton candy or like fiber glass insulation and there is no smell to it. What could cause this to happen? It is a hydualic clutch. And this is the only damage to the clutch.

Is the car under warranty? I am curious why an `08 car with less than 10k miles would have the clutch disc explode unless there is a manufacturing defect .
