How can they claim it is not covered ? Did they give you a reason ? I think it should be ??? Take it up to the regional GM rep.
BTW, I have a spare stock shaft if you wind up needing one, but I think they should replace it free.

Depends. How'd you break it?
Now Trex. If he unloaded the clutch at 6000 rpm. That's abuse. GM shouldn't be expected to pay for that. Some will argue "then why can I dump the clutch at 6000 rpm?". Because, if you couldn't beat it like you want to, you'd not buy it. So, GM knows you may try that and that they don't intend to pay for broken driveshafts, axles, rear ends, etc. that are caused by outright abuse. If they built the car with a neutral rev limit of 2000 rpm, everyone would complain then they'd "tune" the car to eliminate it, then they'd break things....and expect the dealer to pay for them.
