Clutch Smell

[smagerstein]

Hi there,

I had my clutch and flywheel replaced by Porsche mid last year. I remember being worried about the burning clutch smell on the replaced clutch. They told we that it's normal to smell the clutch for the first 400 to 500 km.

As they suggested the smell did go away, first clutch lasted 130000km, hope this one lasts a while

Since they had to remove the Tyranny...I would check and see if you may have an axle seal leaking. When it does, it leaks down on the exhaust and the smell is very peculiar, plus they could have gotten oil on the exhaust when doing the clutch job. Should go away after about 500 miles. After a 1000 miles and it still smells, I would return to the installer and ask why.
