Description of the problem	I have a 2006 toyota matrix xrs 6 speed manual transmission. I purchased the car new and have serviced the car with the dealership from day one. Today i brought it in for its 45000 mile service and told them to check the clutch because we noticed it sticking/slipping in 5th gear. Turns out i need to replace the clutch at a cost of $1200 even though i have their platinum service/extended warranty plan. I haven't even worn out the brakes and i have to replace the clutch!!!! I am a 46 year old mother and have driven several cars with a manual transmission and never had to replace a clutch with such low mileage. I read on edmunds car space about this and it said to come to your website to document this.
