Have you disabled the accelerated warmup? When you start the car usually, does it shoot to 3k rpms for ~15 seconds, and then settle down to a normal idle?

Are you SURE it's the clutch that's killing it? If you sit there with the clutch pedal pressed, it stays running?
Mine stalls a lot when cold unless I tap the gas pedal while it's doing that 3K warm-up or just after...
