Yeah a 'clutch job' is unlikely to fix this problem unless the pressure plate has collapsed and there is nothing left of the friction disc. I would be attacking the pedal assembly and clutch hydraulics which can certainly add up to $3k if you do the brute force fix of 'replace everything' which is the dealerships favored most profitable approach.

Why is the dealership not covering this under warranty? This does not sound like user error unless you have FUBAR the disc and it's disintegrated. It honestly sounds like a hydraulics problem.

^^ I second the fact that this is absolutely hydraulic related.

Push for a warranty repair, make them prove that it was user error.

Everybody, this is why you ask questions when diagnosing problems.

Is this also your first car? Based on spelling and grammar errors I am pegging you as either young or English is not your first language.

this sounds like an issue i had the assembly that guides the shift rod ( what ever its called came loose and i couldnt get it int gears) once tighten it worked like a charm. The dealer didnt even charge me for the fix (still under warrenty) as for the pedal i would make sure your fluid levels are good and bleed the master.

if there is play in your shifter when in gear its definitly that selection rod assembly.
