burnt rubber?
hah.. just playin'
maybe you should try a seafoam treatment and see if it helps any?

**cammed goat** · 11-02-2009, 06:27 PM

Is it an automatic? Manual?

**Speed_kills_WS6** · 11-02-2009, 07:12 PM

Possibly clutch slippage or just getting ready to go out on you?

that smell would be your clutch... you're a M6 and your fly wheel was glazing over... time for a new clutcha nd fly wheel...

Things that can smell...

Cats
Brakes
Clutch
Rubber
Overheating tranny/motor
Something leaking onto exhaust
Bad gas will smell funky as well

If it is an automatic, it doesn't have a clutch.
I am no good with automatics internally, but could be bands.

There is a "clutch" in the convertor that makes our's lock up.

The motor or the tranny? They had to change the tranny fluid check the color and the smell of the motor oil if you are concerned. You may put in a tranny cooler just to keep it that much cooler.

i thought there was a clutch lol but yes they changed all that when they fixed it i knwo cuz its not locked up lol..i highly doubt its anything with the tranny cus u can smell it when i rev it in park and neutral as well..im going to check all my belts just to make sure no of that is messed up..and im goign to change both tranny and motor oil..

Check underneath for wetness around the oil pan and trans pan. You may have a leak. You don't have any driveability issues do ya? Like the trans slipping?

**fieropope** · 11-04-2009, 05:36 AM

if it smells more when you rev it id say its something burning in your exhuast and its probably a different type of gas( gas stations are putting out the winter gas now) and itll almost certainly smell differently.

**Ws6islife** · 11-04-2009, 05:45 AM

No tranny slip at all, gears shift very smooth

**Ws6islife** · 11-04-2009, 05:49 AM

will check for a leak and my fluid level and color and all
