What does clutch "wear" smell like?

[MDCmotorsports]

Some old style clutches smell like stinky fish.
Some clutches smell like hot brakes...

yep, depends on the friction material used...same as brakes

I just refure to it as a "hot" smell...

when you'll smell it, you'll know that is what it is!!
and it'll smell for a while!!

This reminds me of the guy in the transam thinking he's doing a smokey burnout when it's actually just his clutch going up in smoke while his wheels were standing still. :stickpoke
