saab says $2400!

So I lost my clutch the other day while down in Mass. I was able to get the car back to the dealer (Saab Nashua North) I had figured it was a clutch since it was slipping and hard to get into gear. After the tech looked and it and dropped the tranny, but not before taking it out for a drive, he said I did indeed need a new clutch (durr) and pressure plate since it broke. Along with all of that he says I need a new axle. My car only has 55k on it. He claims this can be typical of a Viggen since, as he put it, has a lot of HP. the dealer estimated that it would cost me $2,400 for all of this-plus I might want to consider that I doing ball joints. Am I being taken for a ride? The car is still at the dealer apart, I told them not to go on with the repair until I figure out what to do. So my question is: does anyone have any experience with failing pressure plates and or clutches this soon. I did open a file with SAAB USA about this, which probably doesn’t mean a thing! Thanks for your help.
