smells like burning clutch

[ant0045]

For the last month or so sometimes when i get out of my car it smells like burning clutch but my clutch is not slipping and i am not beating on it. I have a DF centerforce clutch in it with about 20k on it. The clutch engages right off the floor and you can feel it disengage about when the pedal is depressed about 1/4 of the way. Not sure whats going on

Could be oil contamination, a flywheel that wore un true, or many other things.

are your brakes dragging. pads and clutch are made of similar materials

Good point, didnt think of that.

my rear main seal is leaking very slightly. and no my brakes are not dragging.

could also be an electrical fire, from what ive been told. ive never experienced and electrical fire, so... just throwing it out there.

Your rear main seal is probably allowing oil to get right down by your clutch. Could be the burning smell.
