Just a thought to go along with the good advice of the High Temp fluid. Is the rod connecting the clutch arm to the slave in a straight line in all planes? If not, the side loading (thrust) may be causing the piston to wear in the aluminum bore puting minute aluminum particles into and discoloring the fluid. Generally speaking these cars are light enough that an extremely sprung pressure plate is not a necessity, the tire grip becomes the limiting factor, NOT the clutch slippage.
