So i picked up my car last night after getting a new Exedy OEM clutch installed in my CL9 07 Honda Accord Euro. The clutch feels great! And has no noise at all.
However after I got home and parked the car, it started ommitting this aweful smell of burning rubber. It smelt very similar to when my clutch was slipping -it wasnt a burning oil smell it was a more dusy dark smell like burning rubber.
I am worried that the mechanic may have not correctly put my car back together.
I have driven the car on 3 small trips after getting the car back and each time, when I get out of the car it smells of this aweful burning rubber. I got someone else to drive my car to make sure it wasnt because I was riding the clutch - this guy has only ever driven manuals and has a perfect driving style with little use of clutch during changes. And it still smelt aweful afterwards.
Any ideas what it could be? I am going to call the mechanic today but I was hoping you guys could tell me what you think too. As they will probably just say - thats normal clutch wearing in, or thats probably just some oil burning off.
But surly it wouldnt be still smelling after 3 x 15-20km drives?
