A couple of weeks ago i took my car to the mountain and being the novice driver I am, I kind of burned up my clutch by riding it too much and now it's been smelling off and on constantly every time I take the car up to high RPM. My clutch seems to be fine, it doesn't slip or anything, but the smell is worrying me. Is this normal or should I have it checked out?? Also if I go to the dealer and have an AEM intake, will it void my warranty??

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys and have a happy new year.

 

Yes, be worried, be very worried.

Too bad I don't have a picture of my SHREDDED clutch and warped flywheel after some spirited driving at the track. I mean MILD.

If you smell it, it is bad. Go aftermarket if you could, otherwise try to get it taken care of under warranty.

 

TTT

 

you sure its not something like a cracked radiator? the smells arent that different.

 

I don't think they can void your warranty because you have a CAI. I'm pretty sure it is illegal for them to void your warranty unless they can prove that your CAI somehow contributed to your clutch dying, which I very much doubt.

I'd be worried about that smell though.

 

try using a good air freshener......

 

I kinda had the same thing happen...I was trying to show my friend how I could start the car from 3rd gear. Right after that, I successfully tried 4th hahaha...my car smelled like tranny fluid for 2 weeks. It went away and everything was fine...
