If you flushed it out with any kind of solvent you most likely got in on/in the release bearing also which will wash out the grease in it causing the bearing to lock up which spins the entire housing breaking/melting it off the front of the CSC.
Save yourself the trouble and NEVER reuse it, Unless of course you like tow trucks and pulling your trans for fun..
