Thanks everyone. I feel better now. Thinking about replacing the axles and wanted to fight off project creep as much as possible. You know how it goes............
On the other hand, I just pulled a clutch on another car after 500 miles. Aparently I used too much grease on the splines and it flung all over and ruined the disc and turned the flywheel and pressure plate blue in spots. Thank god it is a '60s RWD car and was easy.

The clutch actually wears ONLY while it's slipping. So if you launch at 5k rpm all the time, or you have to slip a lot because of your ... 'skills', then it won't last as long.
If you rev-match when you shift, then it doesn't even wear during shifts. Only during launching.
