#30437, "engine smell and clutch problem"


          

1.When i drive for a while kinda hard, it has this burning smell, should i be worried?

2.Also sometimes when i put it in reverse and hit the gas and release the clutch it doesn't do anyting, so i have to take it out of reverse and put it back in to back up. Can i fix it my self or have a shop fix it? Also do i even need to have it fixed?

3. When i'm driving in first gear and I let of the gas kinda fast and don't push in the clutch the car jerks forward then continues normally slowing and repeats this over and over till I push in the clutch or hit the gas. Happens at low and high rpms. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I was right there with him untill the light turned green.

1) could be a number of things. Are you low on any fluids like oil or radiator fluid. You may have a leak somewhere and it's dripping onto the engine and burning off. Look for a puddle underneath after the car is parked for a while.

2) The car may not actually be all the way into reverse. It seems to be a common occurance with our cars. If you put the car into reverse, but it doesn't feel like it went all the way in, let the cluch out very slowly as you continue to push the shifter towareds reverse. You should feel it click in fully.

3) First gear in our cars is pretty short, so if you're at accelerating and you let off, the gear will pull the car forward in a jerking motion because the drivetrain is spinning faster than the gear can slow down from the force of the car already moving forward. Not sure if that one made any sense. emoji

Hope that helped.

Hey man thanks for the help. The only thing is that there is no puddle under the car after it sits out front for two days so i don't think that any fluids are leaking.
