My vote is for mechanical sympathy. Some people get a long time out of clutches, gearboxes and diffs, some people don't.
ie, my clutch was knackered when I bought my car, but I still got 50,000kms out of it before I pulled the whole engine out. There's no way in hell I'd ever mush a gearbox.
You say you use the clutch every gearchange, but there's a lot more to using the clutch than just pushing it in and letting it out. Not saying that you are letting it out too quick etc, but something you should adjust if you are. Without trying to sound too much like a tosser, you'll know how hard you can be by how it feels, if it feels a bit tough on the car, then you're probably doing some damage.
