clutchy smell

okay well i've notice in the last day or two that my truck smells like clutch when i park it. the truck had sat for 2 months before i bought it but the clutch is strong. no slipping at all, its not my first 5 speed and i even though it might be me so i let a couple other people drive it and it smelled the same, any suggestions? just thinking that the clutch might have some crap on it from sitting and just needs to be worn back in?

2000 tacoma 2.7 btw.

thanks

i would just drive it and if the smell keeps coming you might have problems. but after sitting for 2 months it should smell a little

 

okay. thats what i though. it works fine, like i said no slipping or anything. its not stiff, nothing like that just stinks a bit. ill keep going and see what happens.

thanks

Give it a reason to stink...

 

you buy me some new tires when i smoke these off 19 year old student broke and cant afford new stuff right now. i like to do it though. thats what the skylines for...

 

Mine smelled to for the first week or so... It's the first 5 speed that's the problem.

 

yea. my trucks not my first one. as you can see in my signature ive owned 30 vehicles and almost all of them have been 5 speed. and like i said ive let other people drive it to just to see and its the same. it is starting to go away a bit now.

not in any specific order but there they are. tough to remember. the alero was my first car. bought it december 31 2005 and shes all down hill form there. here are a few pics of the skyline

 

That skyline is sexy man. Thats a pretty impressive list at only 19, you have the best of that list right now (taco and skyline). Whats the skyline run?

 

its just a stock ecu config right now. 6.5lbs on a stock maf and stuff. makes about 245 rwhp estimate with the upgrades. its got a few upgrades though as listed

rb20det
garret t25 turbo(ball bearing) (factory is t20 ceramic bearing)
blitz bov
custom made downpipe
4 inch hks exhaust
stage 3 fidanza clutch
hks turbo timer
300zx brakes all around
front strut tower bar
18" rx8 wheels 245 55 rear and 225 55 front (had to run 1 inch bolt on spacers up front and 6 mm slide on spacers in rear to clear the calipers)
pioneer deck


plus more in the future.

i love tacos, just never thought id own one and a nice sports car. so i guess my list is going to be closed for a while because i dont wanna get rid of either one. insurance is tough when your a student and have an hour drive to school daily but i make due. i work part time and 10 cars from my list got me some cash buying and fixing and selling so that helped when it came to that stuff. learned a lot of stuff the hard way but have a lot of connections in the car industry around here so that always helps

cheers

With a list of cars like that you can buy me tires.

 

haha just because i had a lot of cars dosnt mean i have a lot of money. not all of these were to pretty. and keep in mind i didnt have all at the same time. i would trade and buy and sell them like baseball cards

 

I apologize I misread your post. I thought you said it's your first 5-speed, you said it's not your first 5 speed. I couldn't believe you had an automatic Skyline. Makes sense now.

 

haha. its all good. i think i only owned 3 or 4 automatics outta those 30. the camaro was and the halfton chev was and the golf was. i think thats it. cant remember off the top of my head
