solman98. Based on Kev's description earlier(and the lack of burning smell) it's sounds like a pressure plate failure. Yeah, awful low mileage for clutch replacement, but doesn't sound like riding the clutch and burning up the disc.
I hope Kev will take some pictures of the bad parts and post them here when he gets it fixed.

Solman, I had followed up with more info on another older thread.

As for what my boss found out from the fleet mech he said $500+clutch So still $700-800 but also not $1,200 like the dealership wanted!

Thanks Kev. I've done numerous clutch jobs(long ago) back in my days as a mechanic. I'm always curious to see what part failed and why.

I am getting in contact with my cousin who is Store Manager of an AZ that I can get a cheap clutch kit from him. It's the normally $318.xx kit that he is going to sell to me for $200. Then hopefully I can work WITH him to get it fixed! I still need to do all the suspension and brakes that I already have parts for!
