waranty case or not?

OK what do you guys think of this
Last week
I took my car in for clutch repair. At 8000 mile.
and they will not covered by waranty. And yes they gave me that normal wear BS.
But as of monday my clutch really starting to slip so bad i had to take it in for replacement. Plus my stage 3 clutch master came on friday. My car is still in the shop waiting for them to put in the cluctmaster stage 3.
Today i got a call from the dealership. that they have taking the factory clutch out. It looked burnt. and the flywheel has alot of burnt on it. becasue i know for 1 full week i was driving my car with the clucth sliping. But what is puzzzling me is the disk it self look like it got a good 80% of meat still left on it, just the
otherside of the disk looks burn.
To me it leave me to belave that
the presure plate is bad or something,or its not holding up. Can it be something else. I have never race my car at a track or on the streets. I have a 100 mile round trip from home to work each day.
90% of my driving is freeway going about 70-80 mile per hour. So
if my clutch disk is not worn out. Do you think i have a waranty case? Last week when i took my car in they had a rep. drive it around.They didnt even take the tranny out or nothing he just drove it and see that the car was starting to slip. But said it was normal and wuold not cover my waranty. But after looking at my disk it looks odd to me. Do you guys think they will take a 2nd look at it now and see it not normal wear and cover my claim?

I think it might be the way you're driving it. Take a service guy for a ride in a manual car once. You may say you drive it just fine, but without a baseline to compare it too, you may be doing things completely wrong.
