Very few head gaskets need replacement at 40K miles. Many need a re-torque of the head bolts but few need replacement. I'd wonder about whether or not it really needed replacement. The head gasket issue was not suo much a design flaw as an assembly flaw in tightening the bolts.
Likewise, the suggestion that your clutch needs replacement is equally suspicious. Most of them go beyond 100K miles - but like all cars, it depends on driving style. However, I've seen few that went as young as yours. I'd be somewhat suspicious of that diagnosis.
