Anyone else ever get a horrible burning smell inside the car after some aggressive driving? its not the engine or brakes, i'm thinking its the clutch. i just bought the car with 95k miles so i do not know how old the clutch is (possibly original). When I drive hard for a few minutes with alot of full stops and starts, i get a strong metallic burning smell. There is also metallic chatter when i accelerate hard in 2nd,3rd, and 4th. The car is fine if i drive it slow and easy. I'm thinking the clutch is totally worn and I'm getting some metal on metal contact. What do you guys think?

 

its your clutch..its going. mine smelled the same way when the pedal stuck to the floor.

 

If 95k on original clutch?? It's certainly time to replace as it sounds like it's slipping under full throttle as well.

 

any recommendations on a decent clutch for budget price?
