2k miles 08 JK 2-Door. Cracked Clutch?
So I took my Wrangler to the dealer because the trans was making noise whenever my foot was off the clutch pedal (It almost sounded like the dry clutch of a Ducatti motorcycle - those of you that have heard that, know what I mean).
My mechanic heard it and said it was the Throw Back/Out Clutch.
When I get to the dealer they tell me that my mechanic is correct. Once they replace it they tell me they need it for a few more days to replace the Clutch because it is cracked.
My question is, how does this happen when I only have 2k miles on it so far?
Was this defective from the get go?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Gunny,
Actually the sound sounded REALLY cool. Kind of hard to explain but now I miss it. I got used to it.
They ended up replacing the entire clutch because the tech found a crack in the clutch itself.
Of course as soon as I drove off my check engine light came on. They said it was the gas cap and reset it.
By the time I got home the light came on again. So I went to the nearby dealer and they checked the code and it said it was the Knock sensor.
Four issues and I have not hit 3k yet.
I still LOVE my JK.
