I've just recently noticed a "burnt clutch" smell on my car recently. However, my car is an ATX. I thought maybe it's a brake lock up, but none of the brakes feel abnormally hot after a drive. The smell just kind of comes and goes. It doesn't linger. All of the gauges read okay, and no CEL. The car doesn't pull to one side, or has any wierd hesitations. I've smelled it on the open highway, or on a quiet side street. I don't know. I've searched the archives, but most of the smells listed are sulfur-based.
Any clues?
