RE: wierd burning smell of rubber..
well i have good and bad news. the bad is that it is my clutch. the good is that its normal when that happens because of the old dust from my stock clutch heats up and smells. this happens because if im on a hill or an incline and gasing while clutching it, it slips making the smell. i just need to be careful when on hills at a light instead of gasing and clutching it, to just sit there and brake. so if any1 else has this problem and has an aftermarket clutch, this is the reason.

Good to hear you solved it juice. I remember one time I was showing my friend my launching skills, but I got the RPMs too high by accident and slipped the clutch through first and burned up the clutch. We laughed about it and moved on, until a couple minutes later when the smell of the clutch filled the cabin and overwhelmed us so much that even driving with all four windows open, AC blasting didn't help. We sacked up and dealt with it.
