So I got the car back yesterday, and just as I originally thought, it was the faulty throw out bearing. That was what most of this forum pointed to, but they walked the problem down, so I got a new master cylinder, shift fork, throw out bearing and a new friction plate. So basically a brand new clutch at 35,740 miles.
Clearly I'm glad it was free, but I'm sure a few items were replaced unnecessarily. That's what warranties are for. It had to be bad really early on to get to this point so soon. I do DRIVE the car, but clutch abuse isn't a factor in my driving.
I will say the old clutch setup had the classic high engagement, and the new one feels more "normal". Funny thing is that after 2+ years, I had gotten used to it!
