Ok,i've a 2008 yaris hb. The problem is,each time i do some kick,when my engine revs to 5k rpm,the interior will fulfilled with smells of burning rubber. Anyone knows what causes this? it's pretty annoying

Any chance that burning smell could be coming from a burnt clutch/transmission because we can rule out smoking tires due to extreme acceleration.:wink:
