My S2000 is at ~32,000 the car has been driven all sorts of ways. It's my daily driver and usually I'm docile with it, but on the weekends I usually like to go out for spirited driving. The car has seen the drag strip a few times aswell.

Here's my problem at the present:
2 Nights ago I was driving my car and the bottom of my shoes was wet, and slipped the pedals and I burned/slipped the clutch pretty bad So naturally I got that horrible smell that follows shortly after. The next day I didn't drive the car at all, as I was busy with stuff at my house, until later that night I took the car out and driving the car normally, no launches or slipping that bad clutch smell came about again. Now all of today regardless of how gently I drive the car it seems to have that smell come about.

I'm not expreincing any slippage in the clutch, it still feels like it grabs fine (the pedal feels a little softer though, but that could just be me thinking its softer and making things up...not sure).

I was wondering if it was possible to actually burn all the clutch fluid and because its burnt causing the smell to stick with the car? Or is the clutch bout had it and is starting to slip?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And if I'm going to get a new clutch, recommendations?

Thanks!

Give it a couple of days first. I've seen it take that long to dissipate.

If it's that much of a concern, take off the clutch cover and hook up a fan.

If this is the first time it has happened, you will be ok. I have had my clutch even slip 2-3 days later and eventually it came back stronger than ever. Provided you dry your shoes often, you will be ok

The smell will eventually go away....unless you did a hell of a clutch burn, which I don't think it is the case as you don't show any signs of slippage....
