Default Burning smell
Alright, everytime i open up on a straight road it's all good, then when i slow to a stop, i smell something burning. When i open the hood and smell the tranny stick, it smells fine. I'm wondering what it could be that's giving off that burning smell.

Mines an auto and it happens even if the brakes are never touched. Probably just somthing plastic too close to the exaust somewhere.
