Read the small print.
I very much doubt that the clutch (as with tyres.exhaust/brakes etc ) are covered at all under any warranty.
A clutch change is a bitch of a job too, so they will be reluctant to 'help', BUT, politely call them and explain the situation (don't get stroppy).
Be clear about what you feel and ask if they will help.
If the small pront though does exclude the clutch then you are doomed.
Labour to do the clutch = about 8 hours, some do it in 5 and a good clutch kit is about £300 (fit a GOOD quality unit, no tat).
Good luck.

Hiding to nothing. The garage will just say that the clutch was fine when you bought the car, and that it's only gone because of the way you've been driving it.
