Clutch cable snapped after 5 months. Parts warranty?

I had my clutch cable replaced in March. It just snapped yesterday. No warning. The previous cable was slipping, but lasted a few years, not a few months.
Luckily I was in neutral & at a traffic light. I managed to nurse it into a nearby parking lot before calling the SAAB dealership and the local towing company.
The service manager claims that my stiff clutch is to blame for the short lifespan of the clutch cable (too much stress on the cable), but there has been no increase in the clutch force - it has always been stiff. The "cure" is a $1200 (+ labour) clutch kit. I don't think so. If I'm laying out that much cash, I would have the hydraulic clutch installed.
Anyone know if SAAB OEM parts carry a warranty? Five months is pretty pathetic, even for the infamous clutch cable.
Thanks - JMJ
