Burning Smell

[TonyRay]

Noticed a poignant burning odour after reversing up a relatively steep hill (it was over a short distance, like two or three meters). The burnt smell also occurs when pulling away up a steep hill if you let the clutch slip (instead of engaging hand brake).

this could be that you are revving too high and havent released the clutch to go yet. often happens when driving up hill.

its burning the clutch hence wearing out the clutch. just need to use less revs, maybe about 1500-2000 revs

yeah, sounds like your hanging onto the clutch too much...
