Why didn't someone notice this before the clutch was changed 20 times.

I think diagnostic skills are a lost art. Nobody knows how to fix a problem anymore. Most techs just throw parts at problems until they go away. If the problem can't be found with a scanner, you're screwed.

Yeah - I think so - that's been the way of it for a long time now.
