I'd try to get money from them, but don't be surprised if they try to make it difficult...

We don't have one a warranty in our case.

That is assuming you really didn't do anything to the clutch out of the ordinary.

Just back and forth to work. There was an inspection report done but I didn't get a copy unfortunately. I can't recall if the clutch was inspected. Hopefully the dealer will still admit to having the report.

37,000 seems awefully low for a clutch to be worn out unless the previous driver drove with the clutch pushed down all the time.
Unfortunately the clutch is a wearable part so its not covered under the warranty for the vehicle.
I don't see where the dealer would have to do anything.

Well, the previous driver was a woman... (just kidding, ladies!) Yeah, I expect I could be S.O.O.L. At the very least I hope to convince the dealer to throw in the labour if I buy the parts.
Can anyone comment on the $1500 quote (which is about 50-50 parts and labour) for repair? Seems pretty high to me.
