Pulled my gearbox apart and found????

Hi

My mate who is rebuilding my gearbox pulled it apart and found that my had a 4 paddle A.P clutch but the confusing bit is the previous owner used a standard Pressure plate thus I hade a look at the springs on the clutch and 1 of them is bust open. What can cause this to break like this. Plus will the car put down less torque due to the pressure plate not able to handle the clutch. The clutch was in a bad state it had chunks missing out of the paddles but it was not slipping it has scortched my flywheel in the process can this also be the reason of not getting full torque down. I have a spare flywheel which will get used now. So any reason why this could happen.

Thanks
