Is that lack of warranty coverage the same for the SMG clutch? The service invoices from the previous owner indicated that the clutch and other associated parts were changed at ~65k under warranty. Technically with an SMG you don't really have direct control of the clutch since there is no clutch pedal, so it's not really a true "wear and tear" item like a 6mt clutch or brakes. Atleast that's what someone would conclude since it was covered under warranty.
