Title: Sachs smell
Post by: Rustybear on April 20, 2013, 09:00:20 am

Got a new schs clutch and DMF fitted about 1000 miles ago. Every no and then when doing hill start/reverse up up theirs a terrible clutch burning smell. Now, understand my clutch control could be better but I've never had this much smell in the past when doing the same type of moves/driving. Are Sachs known to be smelly ????
