Clutch Slip at 26K?!

[Srs15k24]

Pretty sure my clutch is starting to slip already, feels like it won't hook up, mostly starting out...and yeah with 26K miles. I've absolutely babied this car since I bought it and never dropped the clutch so I can't believe it's acting up like this. My 2009 Si went to almost 90K (at the time of trade in) and never had any issues. Dealer probably won't help me either? It is considered a wear item after all, they'll probably just say, "Learn to drive kid" even though I've had manuals for like 12 years.

Anyone with a Stage 1 could chime in please, is it close to stock pedal effort, feel and engagement? Would you recommend something else? Thanks in advance.

I recall maybe 5 or fewer people have had their clutch replaced under warranty for defects. Most of them had broken springs on the clutch disc if I recall correctly. It never hurts to see what your dealer says. If you've really babied it, your clutch isn't going to look abused when they dig into it. Do you have any type of relationship with dealers near you? Know any workers?

Had mine replaced after 30k under warranty never hurts to ask nicely

Mine started making noise from a stop around 28k finally got dealer to replace around 43k I believe

Yep, now I'm at just over 70k no problems yet with clutch...got mine replaced under the power train warranty because of the springs I believe

How do you tell if your clutch springs are broken?

See the Clutch Noise thread, there's a good explanation there of how to recreate the noise.
