Slight burning smell when changing gear

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

Sometimes when I really give it the berries, smashing it through the gears I get a burning smell in the car. Its not all the time or even most of the time when I change gear but when I'm driving hard, doing quick changes at high revs. Basically when I'm driving like a bell end! ;)

 

Anyone else get this or have any suggestions as to what might be causing this?

Going up through the gears or going down?

 

If going up, then stop slipping the clutch. If going down, learn to heel and toe.

 

+1 - basically try and drive so you don't get everything so hot.....

When going up the gears. Guess i'll just be a bit more gentle with her................

 

P.S Had no idea my use of the term 'bell end' would be met so well. Always been one of my best loved retro put downs, along with 'you tool'. :lol:
