What causes premature clutch wear at 35000 km on a Brazilian 2005 VW Gol even if you drive very carefully?

Improper use of the clutch or improper adjustment will wear the driven plate out very quickly. The clutch pedal free play should be at least 1/2" or 12 mm. Don't rest your foot on the pedal while driving. Both will cause wear.

Can I use the clutch to support second gear so it will not stall or should I just downshift instead?
Downshift. Allowing or operating the clutch to make it slip causes friction which causes heat which causes premature wear to clutch parts which causes unnecessary repair bills.
What causes clutch chatter?
grease or oil on the clutch facing

What causes second gear to go bad in an automatic?
Typically, just age. Each gear of an automatic transmission is operated by one of a set of clutches or bands. When a band or clutch wears out that gear is through and the transmission will need to be rebuilt. The Valve Body controls pressures to different pistons in the transmission. At specific events the valve body causes pressure to be applied to the 2nd gear clutch piston and if the pressure is not sufficient the clutch may "slip", causing additional and premature wear. Driving a vehicle with insufficient ATF can also cause slipping and wear.
What causes clutch slip?
Clutch Slip can be caused by a couple of things but the main causes include a worn clutch plate, oil contamination on the friction plate itself, insufficient free-play and finally worn or seized operating mechanism.
Why uniform wear theory is used in clutch design?
Uniform wear theory is used in clutch design to ensure that the contact surfaces of the clutch components wear evenly. This helps to maintain consistent and predictable performance over the lifespan of the clutch. By design, the uniform wear theory aims to minimize uneven wear that can lead to slippage, vibration, and premature failure of the clutch system.
Why is it important to have an operating clearance between the clutch release bearing and spring diaphragm?
in order to prevent continuous rotation of the release bearing. This prevents premature wear of the bearing. To ensure that the full spring pressure and clamping force is applied at the clutch contact faces. This prevents clutch slip.
What could be the result of insufficient clutch pedal clearance?
It could lead to premature throw-out bearing failure.
