take it to the dealer, theres no reason for it to be going out in a month, and no reason you should have to touch it

How do you normally drive it? The 2.0 guys have found out that if you baby your clutch it ends up slipping. If you shift at 3000+ rpms you should be good.

What do you mean the clutch isn't engaging? If you've only had the car for a month, call up the dealer and explain the problem. The car is under warranty...

You don't baby it and shift at 3,000 RPM? That's called babying it. 18,000 miles in one month? Dude you don't know what the hell you're talking about. Just call a dealer because you won't be able to extract any advice from us since you can't communicate...

It still should be under warranty

We aren't being mean you're asking for help when you can't clarify any information about your car. Specify the year, miles, when you bought it, etc. in your first post rather than having us pull it out of you.

sounds like a typical inexperienced driver got a hold of it and roasted off the clutch.

happens alot.
lots of new stick drivers....or just drivers who havent figured a clutch out yet, buying these cars (for some strange reason)
