My Honda S2000 had 1800 miles on it total and the clutch felt INCREDIBLE because it was obviously new but broken in.
Might be glazed, did you try rebedding it? Sometimes helps when "shuddering" or it will finish it off.

More or less what I already described, though I would add some aggressive declutch during the middle drive on downshifts to try and break up the glaze by torquing in the other direction.

I think MattR has thought his stock STI clutch was dead for 2 years now and it comes back with a few bedding launches.
