Here we go again...

So dealer is in process of teardown, and calls to tell me my clutch disc and flywheel look pretty bad, and recommend replacement. I'm stunned. 26k??? I've driven manual cars

So dealer is in process of teardown, and calls to tell me my clutch disc and flywheel look pretty bad, and recommend replacement. I'm stunned. 26k??? I've driven manual cars all my life, never replaced a clutch so soon. I took a vehicle to the scrapyard from new with 175k on it, original clutch.
Am I being hosed here? $1800 without labor.

Probably, this car isn't know for having a weak clutch (besides the slave cylinder). But without seeing it first hand I can't say if it really needs to be replaced or not. Ask them this, :"if it is failing after 26k why pay to replace it out of your own pocket with the same garbage terrible clutch that will fail again in another 26k?"
