Strange smell during rev -6MT

mastersapo · 12-10-2010, 04:02 PM

Hi Everyone,

I have about 2500 miles and am through my first oil change (I travel a lot on business so I don't get up in the miles as fast). I have noticed that during a clutch in rev I occasionally get a truly horrible smell. It is similar to burning tires but more pungent. Any ideas? I was thinking it was the clutch but I have had manual cars for years and never experienced anything like that. Should I take it into Nissan????

Thanks for your comments!

I have it as well, it is just a new car thing and will go away as all the new Zs I test drove had it too.
