Burning clutch
I have a 94 ford f150 300ci for aobut 4 years. Never had a problem with it till lately. I've been smelling the clutch really bad. When i first start it up it is pretty intense and when i sit at stop lights also. I just had the clutch replaced not to long ago, bout 8 months. I don't drive erractic or anything, taking off fast, nothing like that. The truck only has 23K miles on it. Any one know if it could be a seal leaking onto the clutch making it burn, or even the slave cylinder leaking?

It shouldn't be doing anything just sitting at a light....the clutch disc and pressure plate are rotating together. Now if there's oil draining down in there, it could be slipping bad and I guess smell more like burnt oil than burnt clutch.
Either way, youre gonna have to pull it apart to really see whats going on.

Remove the little 2x3 piece of rubber on the side of the transmission and take a look inside to see if there is any leaks.
