Hey guys,

The other day I was stopped at a stop sign and upon starting again, I somehow forgot that the car was still in 3rd gear and I accidentally revved to like 5500 rpm's before realizing this and shifting back to first. Shortly afterwards, I smelled a kind of burnt plastic/rubber smell coming from the engine. Has anyone else experienced this/ know what it could be? I have about 800 miles on my car and it is a 6MT.

Thanks
