ETA about 4 days. I will miss it. On the upside i was talking to the parts manager while i was up there and he offered me stage 2 at a 50% discount. 425 installed!!!!!! So that will also be put on while in the shop. So everything worked out well after all.

That is an awsome insane price that is below dealer COST!! dealership cost is $500 for stage II, Hell I work at a dealership, and I still paid 575 for my stage II. good deal man. yeah clutch slipping at 500 miles is definitally covered, I have put clutches in under warrenty with as high as 6000 miles.
glad to see you had a good resolve in the end.

the clutch should have a limited warrenty up to 24k. The service rep at the dealership i go to says it is limited because it has to be approved to be replaced. At 500 miles they may think of it as abuse but get another dealer to look at it and dont act like you know what is wrong just say your engine isn't working correctly or something.

I was calling around dealers the other day to get my stg2 installed, and one of the service advisors from courtsey didnt know what stg2 was, so i was telling him about it and he asked if it came with a clutch upgrade and i said no, and then he said that these cars EAT clutches and he was surprised that they didnt upgrade the clutch.
DAMN 500 MILES.... was the car used as a test drive car, cause that might be the problem, plus you're not supposed to beat the thing until at least 500 miles of easy driving to break in the clutch, axles too, goddamn.... I don't even want to know... not saying its your fault, but that car must of had a rough life before you got it.
