A quick csc failure question!

I doubt that's the cause of the csc failure unless you were feathering the clutch on every shift, then the clutch disc will likely to be worn out before the csc. I suspect that the main causes are excessive heat and poor material of the rubber seals.

Cars with external csc would normally last much longer.

The seals fail, I think partly because of the cheesy thin plastic and high pressure causing the part to flex. I'm pretty sure stomping the clutch to the floor on every shift is going to cause the seals to fail prematurely, but I'm not a mechanic.
