.... The powertrain warranty is still in effect, why would you pay for it? Unless the miles are too high.

Just buy an aftermarket clutch and get it installed somewhere else. Thats what I did. Paid about 800 for the clutch and labor.

That sucks bro. I would say take it back to them. Lemon Law. Bitch enough to them and tell them you brought this car two weeks ago. They should replace under warranty. In most states you do have a 90 Day warranty if there isnt one still in effect on the car.
