Phew... now that brings me to my next questions...while it is just a parts cost...
A. Car has 36k on it and the clutch feels bad to me - should I buy a clutch now?
B. If I should buy one - should I have them get the nismo? Advandages/disadvantages?
C. Since the car was bought 6000 miles ago and the clutch is kind of weak...do I have any leverage in asking for them to do the clutch for free?
Thanks as always all...

If you plan on adding mods, it would be wise to add an aftermarket clutch and save yourself some labor down the road. Most of the single disc clutches feel just like stock. Nismo one is over priced and just a glorified stock disc with a heavy duty pressure plate. You can get the JWT or ACT flywheel/clutch combo for about a grand. Aftermarket single disc clutches by themselves usually run $400-600.
If you don't plan to mod, stick with what you have or make the service guy understand that added stress on the clutch from the transmission problem has prematurely worn the clutch. Maybe you'll get a new oem clutch, maybe not.
