z12358 is correct -- there's no way you should be experiencing any signs of clutch wear on your car, considering how new it is. I've heard people say that Boxster clutches only last 50k miles. That should be your absolute minimum target -- most cars will go well over 100k on a clutch.

You should pay attention to your driving style. Don't dump the clutch, don't "power-shift", don't leave your foot resting on the clutch pedal while driving, don't leave your hand resting on the shifter, make sure you depress the clutch all the way, there are a million other little tips to help clutch life.

If you're sure you're not doing the above and it's STILL wearing prematurely, I would bring it to the attention to the dealer as a potential manufacturer's defect w/ your particular clutch.
