Hey i was wondering if i could get a lil input....Always after driving my evo hard or easy i end up smelling wut i think migh be clutch but im hoping it isnt. I asked a few friends of mine who have evos and they say their cars always get that smell a lil bit after driving.....Is this normal or am i just riding my clutch to hard??

 

I think you're riding your clutch too much. Mine only smelled after a few botched launches. Is this car your first manual transmission?

 

not to worry its jus the smell of ur engine...

 

Is the car new? The engine smell goes away after a few hundred miles.

 

i miss the new car smell

 

i think it is the way your driving... mine doesnt smell.

 

Yeah when my Evo was new it had a weird smell for the first couple hundred miles. It's normal both Evo's I have had did the same thing. If it's not new then you might have a problem.

 

Yeah, I also had that smell when my car was new.

 

well i have 1000 or so miles on it, and i never launch my car and i drive it pretty mellow making sure im not slipping the clutch alot, but mabey im burning it up and i just dont know it

 

the clutch smell is very distinctive. It is completely different smell from burning oil or rubber. It is really really nasty kinda smell.

 

Some people say it comes from the catalyser.
Mine smells as well. it's a 03 with 25k.

 

I have a new car and I can smell it after I stop driving. Definitely not clutch (I know how bad that smells), so I guess its just the new engine

I once had a plastic bag melted to my exhaust. I must haev driven over it and once the exhaust got warm it would smell. Took me forever to figure out what the problem was...I thought I was burning oil or something. Scrapped off the plastic and the smell went away.

 

its probably the cat
