Not sure where it was coming from, I poped the hood and it smelt more electical than anything. Do you think I already ****ed the car up? Or is the smell growing pains?

Hopefully it settles over night.

This happened to me yesterday! my roadster's clutch stuck at 4600 rpm between 1st and 2nd, would not release until i pumped it like old time brakes, it continued to burn for 30 seconds until it came loose. Nice Scary smell to go with it. I only have 1600 miles on this car & My dealer is interested in ANYone else who has experienced a sticking/stuck clutch, including what dealer you took it to for inspection and/or repair. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, you are without power and helpless when this happens. Please send personal message with your dealer name, much appreciated. Thanks

Hmm...I was on the highway this morning and had some dulie on my a$$. I was in 6th doing about 70 and dropped it into third (with no rev match), tires squeaked as I floored it and I was gone. Got no funny smell or anything. So I probably should have blipped the throttle to about 5k??
