Yeah, stop dumping your clutch. Dude what kinda power are you pushing and how often are you dumping it ? Clutches shouldn't go out like that unless your excessivly abusing it. Either way take it easy there tiger your gonna put yourself in a expensive hole or worser an undrivable car.
maybe clutch alignment? something causin clutch to wear out quickly on one side while it spins? Sounds like something has been installed wrong/faulty part that wasn't replaced.

but if he istalled wrong the first time and didnt know any better could have installed it the same way for this one too. (not dissin)
my sugg get a shop to do it and go with a better clutch
Are you launching your car a lot? They shouldn't go out after 3 launches no matter what clutch you have. I launched my stock one atleast 40 or more times and it was fine. I'm talking 6k slips. I have the twin plate now and love it. You seriously have to look at the way you're driving the car. Something is wrong.

this isnt my first standard car... and i've never had any problems with my other cars... the first time mitsubihsi motors installed it and the second time somebody else... but before i even launched it on the 3rd clutch it would make a weird noise but i thought it was cuz it was new or something... but thanks for the advice anyways..
