Stinking clutch
Clutch works great doesn't slip but when I get aggressive driving it starts to stinks. It permeates throughout the car. Does this mean anything or just the organic material burning off the clutch?

Organic material will smell when it gets hot. That being said, unless you are riding the clutch enough to generate a decent amount of heat (or unless the clutch is slipping as a result of wear) then this would not be expected in normal usage! Do you notice the RPM's raising without the car gaining any MPH?

Organic will smell if it gets hot enough. Normal daily usage would not typically allow for excessive amounts of heat or scent. This is why I reference usage (riding the pedal) and/or the possibility that it is slipping as a result of wear or even over-powering.

No not riding the pedal just when I do one or two full launches. I don't hook up much so it just spins the tires. Anyway I can imagine it gets pretty hot. The mileage of the clutch is unknown. I will run it until it fails.
Thanks.
