are you sure it's not a sulphur smell? There is a TSB to replace the catalyzer due to this smell, you might wanna check into that.

I sell clutches, if it's your clutch is burning, trust me you'll know the smell. (sorta like smoldering newspaper).
If you clutch is not slipping, especially in the higher gears you should be alright. |
