Just curious, do you ever hold the car in place with the clutch?
Ditto, was just going to say that. Once glazed, sanding or resurfacing only option. If you had a small leak of the main seal into the clutch, that would cause clutch failure and if small you wouldn't see much outside. There were 1 or 2 that this happened on 1Ms if I recall but not very common.

Make sure if you get a clutch to address the main seal just in case.
