Funny Smell When Clutch Dropped

[movingon]

Hi guys,

I've recently got a skyline r33 gtst imported from japan with body kit and gtr exhaust pipe.

Recently I've noticed some funny 'exhaust' like smell in the car when the clutches are dropped on gear changes. It wasn't like this two month ago when I just got the car.

Anyways I'm not a car expert. A friend said it could be the O2 sensor gone bogus.

Anyone got ideas on what it could be?

Also is there any recommended garage shop to repair my skyline around north shore area? My air con fluid is also dry!!

Thanks in advance!

ummm....most likely a dead clutch? why not speak to stan (satanic is his nick on the forums) from northen beaches performance

your clutch is stuffed lol it will slip soon get a new one

yep like the other have said, defiantly the clutch is dying.. does it smell like a realy bad bruning smell? if its starting to slip like that, then it'll start to ware out faster then normal. best to start saving your pennys

Got new heavy duty clutch about 2 month ago, so it's definitely NOT the clutch.

costed me an arm to replace it

Losing your clutch on the highway at 110km/h wasn't so fun... luckily managed to pull aside before I lost too much speed, close one.

and i won't forget the smell of dying clutch for a long long time

Doesn't mean it isn't the clutch.. are you dumping it - or slipping it..

Not really dumping it, after changing gears I just the clutch go in 1 hit (except in first).

i'm sure alot of ppl do it so i can't be the only slacker.
