Default I think my clutch is giving out already ...

After only 7000 mi., I might need a new clutch! Seems to be releasing late and I smell that burning stentch frequently now just from normal driving. I don't drive it that hard. I don't race off stop lights. Maybe it's just my driving!
Hopefully I just need an adjustment? Otherwise, I'll be looking into an aftermarket clutch/flywheel setup soon!
I take it that Honda won't warranty clutch wear this early?

You don't drive with your foot rested on the clutch pedal while in a high gear (4,5,6) do you? That's the fastest way to burn out the clutch, not fast starts. I can't see Honda fixing something like that under warranty.

Honda should warranty the clutch. I know Da Hapa had his changed before 3000 miles. PM him for the details.
