Fiction. Altering an engine limiter will in no way damage a clutch. Well I should say, not in a golf cart. It's a very simple, low HP utility engine, but is is being held back a tad.
Regarding a warranty being voided because of a re-flash of the controller? Absolutely! Not that it matters but the stock system was altered and manufacturers are just looking for reasons to void warranties. That is across the board.
