I hate to say this but stop with the burn outs and abusing the car. It is not set up for that kind of use. I doubt there is a clutch set up that can withstand this kind of abuse.

Drive it normal and I bet you get the longevity back.

If I was doing some serious abuse like that then I would understand why it's going and going so fast but that's not the case I take my time and my car is eating up clutch :-(

Have they been warranting these jobs for you? Have they offered any reason? If they are a good shop, they should be helping you out here.

You need a new shop. Shame you are not state side. It sounds like this guy does not have any idea of what is going on.

Wish I could help you more but not much we can do from here without seeing it.
