Noisy Clutch

So I had the clutch rebuilt recently on my 6030 and now it is making some unusual noise. Sounds similar to a gear grinding noise but it only does it during the friction point. When it's fully engaged or disengaged, it's fine. But whenever the clutch begins to grab (from that point to when you take your foot off the pedal), it makes all kinds of racket. While it was apart we installed a new throw-out bearing and flywheel bearing, so I know that's not it. Can't see much in the inspection hole. Any ideas?
 

I am not sure of the material, but they are the more aggressive disks of the two styles. They look like fan blades instead of a round disk if that helps. We didn't replace them as they looked well enough to re-use. All I ended up doing is resurfacing the flywheel and pressure plate and putting it back together.
 
Does the clutch drag much, making it hard to get in gear,, I"m thinking on the idea of a warped clutch disc,,just slightly that is giving you this sound...

Seems to shift okay.
 
I am wondering if perhaps one of the clutch disks was put in backwards or something along those lines. Also, I noticed tonight in the parts catalog that the clutch discs are actually different. I would not have thought that. The difference being the thickness by .07". Would having those swapped positions cause such a racket? I wouldn't think so since the separator plate floats between the disks but they are different for a reason I guess.
