Default burning clutch smell wont go away

So yea everytime I drive my car I smell burning clutch. The car has 2600 miles on it and its been doing this now for three days. ANy ideas what would cause the clutch to keep burning. It's not my driving. I took it up to the dealership and they told me the only thing they could do it pull the tranny and inspect it. The car seems to drive fine. The smell is pretty strong I can even smell it while on the highway with the fans going. Any ideas?

its under warranty, take it in and let them pull the trans..

P.S. this should be moved to under the hood.

take your foot off the clutch while driving...lol

but if its still doing it, it might be brakes? if they are slightly line locked, they could have one always rubbing. it could be a caliper issue too. atleast i think that the two smells are close enough that they could be confused.

they both smell like sh*t and make me want to stop driving.

Something must be leaking and your smelling the burnt oil etc.


Happened with mine and they had to put a whole new tranny in it.
