The clutches are not falling off. They are slipping so that no torque goes to the wheels. I assume that the teeth inside the clutch are damaged as there is no visible damage on the outside of the gears.

With the clutch off, does the motor spin?
If it does, I would suggest just using another clutch, since when clutches break, it's usually because the plastic has been warped and this can't be fixed.
We've had many clutches where the plastic around the shaft rubs down to be a circle, and then the shaft just slips.
If the motor doesn't spin, then it's possible that the gears in the motor itself are stripped. A quick fix would be to just replace the motor, or you could take it apart and replace the gears with the provided spares...
