i keep getting a clutch smell everytime i drive it idn why even if i dont really beat on the car i still smell it a little. does anyone else has this probelem could it be a bad clutch? it shifts fine tho so idn.

 

How new is the car?

 

depends if your riding it a little it's normal.on my fourth year and every once in a while i park on a hill at work and i let it slip a bit and i smell the clutch a little but no harm if it's just for a second or two.

 

How long have you been driving stick?

 

I think I've smelled clutch more than once with my car and the thing has 10,000 miles, this was after just normal driving too. I've been driving stick for over 10 years now and I've never smelt it before. Oh well, guess it's normal

 

If your car is new then it is normal to smell the clutch in the beginning. Otherwise you maybe slipping the clutch too much.

 

the car is 2004 with 30,000 miles on it

 

ive been driving stick for 5 years love driving it and thats why i was wondering about the cluch smell never had it untill i bought this car

 

sometimes when i really beat on it it smells but sometime when i dont it does too and i only drive it one or two times a week

 

there is an some type of tranny exhaust port that vents into the car .... You can smell it when the tranny gets real hot

 

change tran oil.
