Default Normal clutch wear?

After pulling my clutch, pressure plate and flywheel I started checking the wear on the clutch. The clutch is worn on the outer edges @ .080 more than the inside edge. It also appears that the throwout bearing was pressing against the clutch hub. These were all GM parts. Has anyone ever come across this? :skep: BTW, the clutch and pressure plate had only 4000 miles on them.

Had to replace my clutch at 31k...jst wear n tear. Pedal was heavy due to weaken springs in the clutch.

Just finished the clutch on a 94 with 72K and I saw the same thing. I assumed this was normal. Had next to no wear on the dual mass flywheel. Skuffed it up and reinstalled. Appears to be good as new.
