I had to eventually swap out to another used tranny.

If your using a clutch stop make sure their is some room between where the clutch begins to engage and where the stop is set. I would err on the side of caution when you set it.

I'm currently running a UCP which uses a stop. I've made sure its not set to close to initial pickup.
What makes you lean towards this being the clutch stop vs hard driving/shifting in autocross and track time (you mentioned 'tracked heavily'). Seems almost anecdotal again to me. Not trying to be pedantic, I'm just trying to find real evidence that this is the cause.
