Hit 3,000 miles on my manual trans and the clutch started slipping. Dealer says it's normal, indie shop says it's done.
I drive a 2022 Tacoma with the 6 speed, and at exactly 3,012 miles the clutch started slipping in 3rd gear on the highway near Flagstaff. Dealer says it's my driving style, but the indie shop says the throwout bearing is shot and wants $1,400 to fix it. Who's right here, and has anyone else had a clutch go this early on a new truck?

Dealer says it's my driving style" is a cop out at 3k miles, a clutch that fresh shouldn't slip unless you're launching it at every light. A bad throwout bearing at 3,012 miles points to a factory defect, so I'd push the dealer for warranty work before paying that indie shop a dime.
