I would have made a post on this site looking for someone that trued clutch discs.

One of the reason(s) to turn your clutch plates on a lathe is to make sure the clutch plates are flat. There could be less contact area which will cause your clutch to slip. I had to rebuild a few clutch assemblies because the owner didn't do that step. Most times it does damage to clutch disc and in some cases they had to be replaced.
