Thanks Arnold K. That's the kind of info I'm curious about.

You'll know if you're cooking the clutch...burned clutch smells like tire smoke + garbage. But again, it takes quite a bit of stupidity to cook a clutch during normal driving.

Yeah, I know the smell from being around others doing stupid things in manual cars. Out of curiosity, what actually makes the smell? Just the friction material of the clutch being overheated/burned?
