Grease Contamination
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Jeep Patriot and 2017 Jeep Compass. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Grease contamination is usually a product of over-lubrication. During clutch service, apply only a small amount of grease to the input shaft splines. Excess grease may be thrown off during operation, contaminating the disc.
