Sorry to say, this is one you just have to eat. This is pretty much the
"law" no matter which auto manufacturer you go with. There are many people
who really don't know how to drive a clutch properly, and can literally
destroy one in a couple thousand miles. If it had gone out under your
regular warranty, you might have had a chance of getting it replaced.
Dodge charges way to much for a new factory clutch. Something like $350 and
that doesn't include the labor to install it. You may want to go with a
nice after market clutch. Good-luck.

Subject: DML: Nice clutch huh?
So, this past weekend I was headed down to Indy (which was awesome by the
way) and about 50 miles north of Indianapolis the truck decided it was going
to quit moving under its own power. I thought the transfer case had burned
up, and wasn't too concerned since I've got the cool service contract that
covers everything for 100,000 miles. Well, talked to the dealer in
Frankfort that's doing the work on it, and it turns out it's really the
clutch that went south. Which of course isn't covered by the service
contract. Has anyone else had this problem and gotten Chrysler to cover it?
I really don't think a clutch should eat itself at only 52,000 miles.
Anyone got any suggestions?
