Ha! Nope, not peeling off in 1st The smell seems to be just in 1st gear, or maybe that's just when the car is still enough for me to smell it. Not sure if it's related to my clutch or a belt that needs to be replaced, or something else. I'm going to have to bring it to a garage to figure it out. Was just hoping I could get some feedback here first if anyone had a similar experience.
