Smell
 
So Today I was taking some photos in underground parking lot and after the photoshoot I started my car and pressed clutch all the way and started reving... I like to listen to my car exhaust and popping especially on parking like cuz its echoed ;) I started to smell like something is burning..... could of be the clutch? It was pressed all the way in and car was in neutral... what else could of be?

Question:

Why were you holding your clutch in with the car in neutral? Why put the stress on the pressure place and throw out bearing?

As others have said, the burning smell is normal if you just sit and free rev the shit out of your car.

I think I did that to not damage the clutch?

pushing in the pedal is what engages the clutch. With the pedal out, the clutch isn't being used at all. If the car is in neutral, there is no need to push in the clutch. Just FYI. :lol: As long as it was fully engaged, you have little chance of actual damage, just maybe a little more wear and tear then normal. No real biggie.
