They could have done it a week sooner since you were from out of town.
Getting something covered under warranty after making a customer wait or telling them it wasn't covered was always the kiss of death when I worked at a car dealer. Warranty customers always get a customer satisfaction questionnaire and now that they were pissed off, they totally trashed me even after I busted butt for them.
I got pretty good at deflecting the blame after my paycheck suffered a few times, but it always worked out best if I just used good judgement and fixed it ASAP if there was a chance the factory would cover it. Even if the rep said no the first time, I'd get it covered eventually through creative accounting methods.
If I would expect warranty coverage if it was mine, I'd cover it for a customer and do it fast, fast, fast. I'd have to fight the tech over it since it paid less than CP work, but they knew I'd flag some time and give it to them later. I did 6-7 hours a week myself just to have something to bribe the techs with.
Bottom line, they should have fixed it right away and worried about details later. Everyone loses when a customer fills out a bad survey.
Make a note of what the clutch feels like when you get it back, how much and where the cable play is. This way you can be sure it's adjusted right from now on and not have the problem again. If you don't have a picture in your head as to what the internal workings are, you must rely on the measurements described in the manual for proper clearances and cable play adjustments. That lever adjuster with the numbers on it shouldn't even be on the clutch, too easy for someone to spin it and muck up the works.
Glad you are gettin fixed up. If you get a survey, think hard before just throwing them under the bus.
