According to the mechanics, the clutches still look like the have 50% life in them. Things that I think it could be:
  • Transmission fluid leak: would explain why it happened on a hill, could be a red herring
  • Wiring harness
  • Clutch alignment: constant rubbing generates heat

Let me know if anyone has other suggestions.

Fluid leak should be obvious. Get under the car, wipe everything clean, and check it daily for drips.

Wiring damage should be obvious too -- inspect for fraying, loose or broken connectors, etc.

Clutches can be realigned with the right diagnostic tools. They're self-adjusting but there is still a manual process.
