Doesn't sound like typical clutch wear though. Sounds like your clutch release fork, hydraulics or something else are damaged.

Could be due to abuse, could be due to defective parts. If it's the former, it's your fault. If it's the latter, it should be covered under warranty.

Either way, time for a trip to the dealer. Make them show you the flywheel if they try to blame you for driving like a hooligan. Look for cracks, heat marks, etc. If the disk looks normal, they really won't have much to blame you for.

edit: 5000 miles eh? Never mind about the flywheel--it's not going to show much wear. I bet they'll find something broken that is suspicious, in that it could be blamed on the driver, but isn't 100% concrete. They'll probably do a "good will" replacement of the part, but warn you that if it happens again you'll be in Trouble.

Let's see how close I am.
