Thats wierd you asked this. After I had my TSB 54 done, I left and drove about 2 miles and immediately noticed the car was pulling to the right. I turned right around and went back to the dealership. I approached my service consultant about it, and he was like well we didnt do anything to affect the alignment but I'll ask the service manager. The service manager said the same thing but agreed to go ahead and do a free alignment "in good faith" Everything was fine after that. So, I would go back and complain if I were you. Just be nice about it, thats what i did.

Doing a clutch job on this car requires that the engine be lowered 4". The engine sits on a "cradle". This cradle has large bolts that get "unscrewed" to lower the whole engine. Guess what's attached to this cradle? Some suspension parts. When the engine is raised again, it cannot be guaranteed that everything gets set in the exact same place it started out as. A wheel alignment should be standard procedure after a job like this. Whether or not it should be included in the clutch job is another matter.
