burning the clutch in an SL63
I have around 2K miles on my SL63 and have had no transmission problems whatsoever. I drive my SL in manual mode, exclusively. Today, I was accelerating quickly, shifting gears as i was accelerating, when i smelled a disgusting odor emanating from the front of my SL63. I assume this was my clutch burning. I generally shift in a more conservative fashion, typically letting up slightly on the accelerator between shifts, as one would when driving a true manual transmission. Any comments??

By the way I love using the stick in manual, part on twisty stuff.
