Second Clutch in a year???

2014 2SS RS M6.

Bought April 2014.

October 2014, I had the clutch & slave cylinder replaced, flywheel resurfaced, etc. under warranty due to excessive wear and clutch sticking, etc.

I had a car in my shop a few months back, 2015 2SS M6. I was going to back it out of the shop, and ended up chirping the tires, due to the EXTREME pressure on the clutch. Was very surprised, as mine is way softer. Went to a dealer, and test drove a 2014 SS M6. Same thing. Very stiff clutch pedal. Service tech told me it's normal with these cars...

Now... Taking off from red lights, the clutch is very jerky (the pedal pulsates) like the clutch is bad. I have never tracked the car (aside from on Belle Isle at the ********* Reveal). Not very hard on it, and coming up to 56,000 km.

Is this something I am liable for, or should it be covered under the warranty? I am very proficient at driving manual cars. I know it's not my driving...

My '14 2SS RS M6 vert is smooth as silk and relatively light AFAIC. I came out of a Mazdaspeed 3 which was lighter and smoother yet. But, I only have 8500 miles on my car. I've only done one dump-the-clutch burnout and it survived just fine. You could certainly wear out a clutch in 56km...just depends on your driving style. I wouldn't think a clutch would be covered under warranty as it is a normal wear and tear item like brakes. I also did the Belle Is. deal.
