Default clutch replacement under warranty????

i've had my car for about 5 days now, and ive noticed that when i get on the gas really hard while moving (say i hit it at about 25-30 in 2nd) and then shift, the clutch will slip REALLY bad even after i let it out all the way.

my new car warranty is still in effect, and i was wondering if anyone has ever had a clutch replaced by GM under warranty. I have no modifications done to the car.

the car is a 2004 GTO T56 with just over 16k miles

It won't cover the clutch because it is considered a wear item.

I had my slave cylinder go bad while under warranty. The dealer replaced the slave, but I had to pay to replace the clutch while they had it apart. Luckily it only cost me the price of the clutch since the tranny was out for the slave cylinder. So not too bad, but not a free warranty item either.
