Help diagnosing clutch problem

[Busted Knuckles]

Burnt rubber has me more inclined to look for a tire or an accessory belt. Fried clutch is a distinctive smell, similar to brakes burning. You will never mistaken a burnt clutch for a 'rubber burning' smell. Look under the hood, then check the inside sidewalls of your tires. Look for scuffing marks and melted rubber. An overheated belt or scuffed tire bears marks that are easy to spot.
