It's a unique and powerful smell...kinda hard to describe. But once you do it, you will DEFINITELY know it!!!

It smells like a dead animal. Done it couple of times but after another 10k miles, the clutch still grabs hard.

But with current mods, I don't even need to launch on most of the cars like WRX's to walk them.

You do not want to smell this, for many reasons one being you are messing up your ride. Trust me I have done this and now I have a new clutch.

Smell

I burned my clutch a couple of months ago trying to park after an 8" snow. I was inching backwards and feathering out the clutch. All of a sudden, grind and then ewwww.

I read posts for months from other people who burned a clutch launching their car. I'd launch my car and think, "Did I mess something up"? Believe me, it's UNMISTAKEABLE when you smell your clutch for the first time.
