I want to say GM normally uses Sachs clutches, at least on passenger cars. Lots of other car makers use them as well - they're a very good stock feeling clutch in my experience, and live a long time. I've managed to get over 200k out of a few of them.

super late edit: 12k miles is more than enough time for the clutch to come apart if there's a defect. I wouldn't really be paying attention to the warranty on them, more the name and quality - they're a wear item. Some people can manage 200k+ out of them, some people get 50k. I've personally only replaced them when the gearbox is already out, and only because, well, it's already apart and it's a wear item. Kinda like if you have to do a timing belt driven water pump on a car, you may as well change the timing belt instead of throwing the old one back on.
