Hi -
I own a 2000 Suzuki Grand Vitara (and have owned it for over two years). Recently, it has started to emit a really bad burning smell
immediately after riding the clutch a bit (like when I am pulling out
of a parallel parking spot on a hill).
My car NEVER did this before and just starting doing it. It's a burning smell - or, sorry for the bad description, like a fart smell...so my car is farting! ha ha! ;-)
Anyway, the clutch still seems to be working fine (my husband and I have both tested shifting up hills and it's doing it's job) - it's just scaring me when the clutch smells that bad immediately after riding it.
Could the clutch need an adjustment maybe? Or is this smell just normal sometimes when rpms get revved up really high?
Thanks in advance! Paula
