ive been reading some of these forums and i see there is an oil burning problem in 06 6mt's too.. i just bought one the other day too... and i was wondering if the oil burning problem causes a smell or not.. or is it just my clutch ? it sure doesnt feel like im burning the clutch.. but it smells like it.. i just want to make sure if its me riding the clutch or just the oil burning smell..help ??

 

mayb its the car in front of you LOL. best way to do it keep checking the dip stick, and the cluth "BREAK" fluid.

 

I have the same exact problem, i have a 06 6MT too, did you ever find out what it is?

 

nope.. but recently it hasnt been smelling too much... only once in a while.... maybe im just burning my clutch ??? im not sure.. my clutch fluid is brown as dirt though

 

check under the car let see if anything leaking

 

My cars leaking something..cant tell what it is..

 

Taste it!!!!! lol

 

no chance hahaha

 

^ , ^hahahaha

 

I had the same funky smell on my 2007 6MT. It turned out to be a busted output shaft seal, which leaked onto the exhaust and burned. But that's not all. Attached is a photo of what was happening. It would leak on the exhaust then the fluid would run to the right and left and embed into the metal weave mesh on the exhaust. The fluid would get trapped and burn well after the problem was fixed. I had the smell for 2+ weeks after I got the seal fixed and the dealership was confused why I still had the smell. So I got under the car and doused the metal weave mesh with simple green and then turned the car on and then sprayed the mesh with water and allowed the steam from the water/simple green mix to basically steam clean the exhaust mesh. The smell is gone.
