2004 TJ strange smell

[g.hayduke]

If there is a problem with clutch slippage, you are much more likely to smell it at very low speeds, not >40MPH.

So maybe test for clutch slippage. Shift from 1st to 3rd instead of 2nd or even 1st to 4th. Try to make the clutch slip. Watch the tach and listen to the motor. Try to detect any slippage such as RPMs slowly dropping after you release the clutch. If the clutch is slipping, it should be obvious. I doubt you'll notice any issues but why not test it and hopefully disprove that seemingly popular theory?

I’m not gonna lie, I have a lead foot so the entire time I’m driving I’ll hold 85-90mph.

I got my license almost a year ago and started driving last September so I definitely know what I’m doing

Omfg, this kid is legendary. I'm dying!

I'm still cracking up over the "heat of reentry" comment.

I was tidying up my kc light wiring recently and smelled the worst smell, like hot , dried ,spit , coming from the grill.

Dead bat. Ewww.
