Clutches are designed to take a lot of abuse, but they are not fail proof.

I have driven manual transmissions for over 25 years. I bought a 240SX in 1992 brand-new and used to kill it and didn't have to replace the clutch till about 100000 miles. The clutch on the 240SX you would smell it like it was on fire. I believe something else was wrong with the car. I didn't want to gamble and have them take it apart just to tell me that it was my fault and pay 3 hrs of labor. I'll bite the bullet and upgrade the clutch and the CSC .
This is my drift car 50000 mile OEM clutch.
