The warranty can and should be voided if the car is mistreated. It's quite easy to abuse a clutch or manual gearbox and make it fail in a very short time. No warranty will cover driver abuse. My advice to the poster is to ask for evidence: a burnt out clutch due to poor driving skills will have characteristic marks on it. Taking Mitsubishi's word for it gives too much trust to the manufacturer, but likewise no carsurvey.org user knows how the original poster treated the vehicle.
