Help....I'm smelling CLUTCH !!
 
What the **** is wrong with my Evo. Every time i drive a lil fast(70-80mph) and come to a stop, I smell burining clutch. I've had the Evo for 3 weeks now. Broke it in 500@50 under 4k rpm shifts, and VERY rarely pushing it. I thought the smell of burning clutch wud last until the end of the breakin, but DAMMN.. this suks. I'm @ 550miles now, and will go in for an oil flush this week sumtime. Any sugestions fellow evo enthusiasts. Ne one around my area wanna take a look at my baby .. i think its not feeling too good (sniff) {pcfreak} :dunno: :helpme: :helpme: :helpme:

are you sure it's burning clutch? Mine smelled like baking metal after I park for the first 1k miles or so. At 2400 mi, it still sometimes smells like baking metal once in a while. Do you only smell it after you park? Or do you smell it when you stop at a light? The first few times you drive the car, it will cook off some of the coatings on metal surfaces (oils, whatnot)..

Get yourself an manual kia rio.. and learn how to drive !!! :dunno: Sorry had to do this :lol: You sure it's not coming from the brakes cause those do give off some smell.

That'll go away, mine did it to, although I forgot what mileage it stopped at.

earthman Apr 4, 2004 09:49 PM

it cud be the brakes.. but i'm used to manual trannies n use the engine to slow the car down... never did floor the brakes till a few weeks back, when tht ***in civic cut me off... but tht aint it i think. smell was there before that. from day 1.
