I don't think it makes any difference make/model, 10K isn't a "normal" life
span for a clutch...

I replaced a clutch on a '01 Golf GTi with the VR6 engine due to a very weak
pressure plate.  A lot of meat was still on the clutch disc with no oil
present but it was definitely slipping.

There was once an Audi that had a new clutch installed by a shop I worked
at.  The car was left for the wife to drive and she burnt that clutch up too
in 1 week's times.  She could not drive a stick shift car and kept starting
it off in 3rd gear even after we tried to teach her how to drive stick.  I
am sure that is not your problem though.  <g>

So what is your clutch doing or not doing?
