Ever since I had the clutch changed on my 92 Legacy (standard shift), a bad burning smell emanates in the cabin every time I use the clutch in first gear (on an incline). The person who changed the clutch also said he had the pressure plate machined for a good fit. The clutch still skips a bit from a standing start, just as it did before the work was done. I had the clutch changed because of the skipping (hard to get it engaged in first gear without the car vibrating and shaking) but now I'm still saddled with the skipping but have an odor too. The mechanic couldn't figure out what was wrong so he gave up after a while.
I'm thinking of having the clutch replaced again but don't want to go through the same thing if I can help it. Does anyone know what's wrong with the supposedly new clutch and what's causing the burning odor? I have to drive with all the windows open. Needless to say, I don't use this car much anymore.
Thanks, Wayne
