Woodstock needs a new clutch

Took Woodstock to MINI of Monrovia to get the panel under the steering wheel replaced due to excessive squeaking. While I was there I mentioned that when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd gear, it makes this horrendous squealing sound. The tech took it for a test ride and the same thing happened to him. So guess what? I need a new clutch at 12999 miles on the car. Luckily there's a warranty TSB that covers this problems for the 2007's and above so I don't have to pay for it. This is the 4th major problem I've had with the car which I've only had for a year... I might have to think about lemoning my poor baby =o(
