Burnt Clutch Smell

It honestly sounds like you are tearing yer clutch up, and that the 370 is not a good 1st manual car for you. It should only smell when it is burnt, then is will normally dissipate in minutes (my personal experience). If you are constantly smelling it, its because you are constantly burning it. Poor Z.

Tearing my clutch up doing what exactly? I took 5 hours of classes on manual driving prior to the Z and I never burned the instructor's car once...

was your instructor's car a z? cars are all different, if you change shoes that's a variable, if you change seating position that's a variable... these all throw you off while you are a newb to MT.

Sorry man, I didn't mean to insult you. But it's not easy to burn the clutch...and you did say it was your first manual car, so I put those 2 together
