Description fits a slipping clutch..... Posted by REM in Seattle [Email] (#4) [Profile/Gallery] (more from REM in Seattle) on Thu, 16 Sep 2010 21:54:42 In Reply to: RPM increase but no acceleration..., Bret Martell, Thu, 16 Sep 2010 20:17:56 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
The clutch can no longer handle the torque and starts slipping under high load, allowing the engine RPMs to rapidly increase without a corresponding increase in MPH.
The smell would be the overheated clutch plate material from the slipping action.
