And if all els fails you atleast have something to show your dealer to prove that your not alon and that the clutch dose fail more then they want to admit to.

I voted no . I had 27,000 on mine when it started to show signs of slipping in 1st gear from a dead stop . Im pretty amazed at what my stock clutch put up with . The fact that I only powershift when I drag race and I drag race alot contibuted my early clutch slipping . Had I not done that , the stock clutch in mine woulda lasted ALOT longer . Even at that , when I took my stock clutch out , it didnt look too bad at all .

For those of you having problems, I'm sorry to say I had driven maybe 3 total miles on a stick before I bought this car. Now at 2800 miles, and no problems whatsoever. Maybe I'm a quick learner...

Mine will slip until the car warms up in 1st and sometimes 2nd. Once it's warmed up it holds.
I dunno if it's my 'fault', but I am sure if I drive the car like a grandma the clutch would be fine.

Bone stock and started slipping at 7000KM. I have 18000K on it now and still with stock clutch. it still slips but I know now more what to do about it. left up quick! it sucks. if the tires have traction and your on the gas it does slip. GM warranty states the clutch is not a warranty item. but if you can convince them the pressure plate is the problem as yours does not have enough spring clamping force (IMO that has to be the difference between guys who experience this problem and not) then you could get it covered under warranty.

I had 12,000 on mine and never an ounce of clutch slippage, it was as crisp when i sold it as it was new. I also did alot of hard fast shifting in it and never a problem.
