clutch woes... never seen somethin like t his

So I finally got around to taking off my trans and finding out why I had no clutch. Pedal felt fine, proper movement with the slave cylinder. Had fluid. Take off the trans, the pivot ball is not broke. Take off the pressure plate, ok somethings wrong... the clutch disc (6 puck act unsprung) had fused itself to both the flywheel and the pressure plate. literally fused. causing material to come off when i pried it all apart. Ill post pictures later but it looks like im going to need a clutch.
