RE: Wierd smell after Clutch install??
I did some research and I have come across several instances where SPEC clutch users have experienced this problem. For those who have installed SPEC clutches have you had a strange smell during the break in period?

Sounds like its slipping to me. Makes sense that you never fully disengage the clutch cause your only moving the pedel 2 ". Adjust it, you should be ok if its not too late. If you get on it real hard, does it feel like the motor is reving faster than it used to and the car not moving at fast?

i had a friend that had a prelude and he installed a heavier clutch (equivilant to a spec stage 1) and he got on it too early and every time he would cruise into a parking lot in first gear it would make this high pitch bi*ch squeal. don't be that guy......imbarassing.
