The other day my brand new Toyota Corolla 2007, started to smell and slowly loose power while driving in bumper to bumper traffic for thirty minutes, I was in the left lane on a three lane highway and had to get to the right curb in order to stop, all that I had left was a very weak 1st gear to get there, which is when I think I burnt the clutch, but I don't think it was what caused the lack of power in the first place, however I can't seem to convince the mechanics to look further... as all they see is a burnt clutch...
I have been driving standard for ten years and have never burnt a clutch before, this is why I find it hard to beleive that I did this to my not even a year old car. However who am I to argue...?
Could it be that the clutch was defective as it gave off a weak smell from time to time even in the beginning, even when someone else was driving...Could it be some other underlying problem...
