How is an EVO with an Exeddy clutch a "stock 06 evo"? Granted, the clutch probably didn't cause the motor to fail, but good luck getting something fixed under the drivetrain warranty if you've started replacing parts of the drivetrain. Especially if the car already needed a clutch at 18k miles, which implies abuse, something Allison is within their rights to use as proof of a legitimate warranty denial.
