Nasty clutch burn smell after new clutch install pls help
So I purchased an EVO x 2011 gsr from my tuner... After about 100 miles the clutch went. They said a spring on the clutch came loose and wouldn't allow it to engage. Replaced clutch with new comp stage 3 clutch. Clutch feels great... Shudders a lot getting into first and reverse but I know it's normal for a new clutch to do so while break in period but with the shudder is followed by a really strong burning clutch smell... Is this normal never really happened to me before

The burning smell comes on all the time when I'm going into first or reverse which is the same time the car begins to shudder

Sounds like it is not released properly. Search for thread on how to adjust the clutch release point.
