Burning Smell after drive

[Soulja4187]

Update: I drove the car to work today and there was no burning smell when I got out, my commute is 20 minutes if highway/city driving. I drove with the windows down so I can identify the smell and see what the conditions were when it starts to appear, but it never did. I got out and started sniffing along the car when I got to work and nothing.

The noises of course were still present as always so I know even without the smell that I should be saving up for a new one anyway.

I got the vehicle at 46k from a ford dealer and purchased the extended warranty, but I know that a clutch is not covered. I work for a GM Dealership, sadly Ford was not hiring, and if my local ford dealer is anything like ours I wouldn't get my car back for a couple of months.

I'll drive it around during lunch and see if anything changes.

if I was you, I will still take in so they can have a look at it. Trust me the problem won’t get better over time.

You should know if it is an oil type scent or brakes/clutch which smell similar. If the clutch isn’t slipping under hard acceleration it shouldn’t be the clutch. Get that thing in the air and check it out.

No, you're right. I know Soulja4187 mentioned that too and I'm for sure gonna make sure to take it to the dealer before making any big decisions

Get it in the air, Transmission leaking and fluid tossed onto the hot exhaust starts nice fire balls under vehicles.
Your noise of transmission might be it is leaking fluid and now low. low fluid gets hot and burnt and stinks.
