What is the cause to these clutch failures?

No drag racing. Maybe a little fun here and there on the street, but no clutch dumping. Just want something that can handle serious street driving. I do enjoy the daily 2 3 shift at 7.5k rpms.

Have you seen this thread - just curious if the clutch failures may be related and it's just not being picked up on by a non-Ford shop:

Not saying there's anything wrong with the shop, Tech, parts used, or their integrity, but if you're losing stock clutches maybe they don't have access to that TSB... ?

I have a 2016. I drove over 90k on original clutch. I think it's the fact I have added some power.

Very likely. I had a guy tell me at a very reputable performance shop, that I was on borrowed time with the factory clutch. The crazy thing is, he told me not to use any of the heavy duty aftermarket clutches, in order to prevent transmission breakage. That’s why I decided to strengthen my tranny in every way that I could when I pulled it for the clutch upgrade. Hopefully it’ll last me for a very long time.

I'll check it out though. Thank you.

I was recommended the vengeance stage 2 ceramic twin disc by beefcake. They said the tranny should handle that clutch just fine. I'm not road racing or drag racing. I just enjoy the car on the street. Don't launch too often.
