    Just picked up my 2011 Access SR5 4cly Manual, and I got a clutch smell when I was first driving it. Now it seemed to go away for the most part. I'm just scared that I did some permanent damage. Is there like a break in period? I currently have 250 miles on it. I did ride the clutch a little getting used to where the catch point was on take-offs, but not now.

    I now have 280 miles after my ride home from work. I stuck my head under the truck and didn't get that burnt clutch smell, just the normal smell of a running engine.
