hollywoodnyc Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 hey.. i'm having a problem guys please help. there has been this smell coming from my car and its terrible. i don't mind the smell but its getting me real paranoid and I just don't like it. it smells a little like burnt rubber.. but not exactly. I asked another guy and he said it might be burnt clutch?? is that true? can it be my clutch burning? i doubt it but it is a possibility. here are my observations, perhaps they may help us solve the problem: -i only really start to smell this when i rev to 5000 rpm or 6000 rpm.. -i smell it a lot when i turn my car off, or when i am standing idle at a red light -when i switch gears, and press on the gas, it revs high but speed slowly increases... unlike it was previously (clutch worn out? is it slipping?) all replies are welcome and I appreciate and help. thanks!

hollywoodnyc Posted November 6, 2004 Author Share Posted November 6, 2004 It does sound like your clutch is slipping to me. ← thanks, i'm going to buy a new clutch today. probably one from ACT as I heard these work well in general and especially with the sc300/mkiv. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I would confirm the clutch slipping diagnosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
