#2 - Make sure your clutch is not slipping - it heats up the clutch bell and then melts the gear ( very common )

You know, thinking about it, that does ring a bell. My clutch was engaging real late (when first started the car won't move up until close to half throttle), and I almost burned my hand when I touched the clutch bell gears by accident. Since the clutch timing seemed to loosen up as it heated up I left the engagement timing alone, but definitely looks like something I should check.
