WTF! Burning Clutch

This is bull****!! I have an 06 coupe with 3100 miles on it and the other day my clutch started slipping while launching from a dead stop. I could smell the clutch burning for a while after that and now when ever i drive the car i keep getting a clutch burning smell even if i am just cruising on the freeway. I dont abuse this car and it bothers me that this is happening already.
I also own a 95 240sx and never have any clutch problems with that car and i drive it like i stole it. WTF!!!!!!!
Anybody else have problems like this?

it is a known issue with the burning smell, do a little search, everyone goes through it, unless you are stuck on the side of the road not moving like I did, you are just fine.

that happened to my when i first got mine... by 7000 miles, the clutch burnt out... took it to the dealer and they tried to blame it on me, I told them to go FVCK themselves and that I will own the dealership by next week if they try to charge me for it. They STFU real quick n replaced it under warranty.. when I got it back, they had lowered the clutch contact point to it is like every other freakin car and I've had no problems with it. The contact point on mine was so high that hitting bumps on the road caused slip and burning clutch... i now have just under 27K miles and have no problems

Hmm...I haven't heard of this and no, I didn't get this smell on my 05 coupe 6MT when I bought it. Can't be all that common?

I had an 05 before my 06 and my 05 did the same thing. Trust me bro, it is very common. One of our meets consisted of everyone at the meet sitting and eating lunch and complaining about the G clutch/tranny.
