Default Question Regarding Clutches and Warrenty

My clutch just went out on me recentley (48000 miles) and I have a warrenty to 100,000 miles. My Toyota Dealership replaced the clutch and charged us $1300 saying that the clutch is not covered in the warrenty. Is this true?

an extended warranty like that probably not since it is a wear and tear part. But 1300 is a lot for a stock clutch replacement i wouldn't go back to the dealer to get it next time.

That is a lot of the work, but not a lot considering what dealers charge. Find a good private mechanic.

Warranties do not cover clutches, as they are normal wear and tear items. Your clutch should last well up to and beyond 100,000 miles if you drive it correctly.
