3 Clutch problem of the 1998 GMC Sonoma

Failure Date: 08/13/1999

Vehicle shakes as to be unsafe to drive. Repair center says that the clutch plate is binding. Extended warrenty does not cover as it is a "wear" component. Seems unreasonable to me that a clutch plate would wear out after only 50,000 miles.
