I bought a new Honda Accord, 5 spd., after seeing how great my grandmother's civic has been. After only 29,000 miles my clutch has completely worn out. I was told I didn't know how to drive a clutch. I learned on a clutch and most of the driving for the first 20,000 miles was freeway! I had to have the car towed into the dealership. I was initially told that the problem would be about $950 dollars. Today I am being told it will be $2000 and my share, after previous negotiation is $800. Which I don't have! I bought the extended warranty and this should all be covered under it, but I am being told it isn't. I did read the warranty several times and can find no exclusion for this problem. I need help now!

Not much to add. Think 85,000 miles is way too soon for a clutch to go out. Even when clutch was working, there was no give. It was either fully in or out. Also, car would jerk at low RPM. Not a car expert, but think the clutch is not developed properly for the V6 model for the power/rate ratio of the car.
