My son's 1994 850 na manual car is giving off the occasional burnt rubber or "brake fluid on hot engine part" smell. I bought the car a year ago and knew the clutch was near its end but it still shifts well with first and reverse being a little rough. Could the smell be the clutch disk going completely bad? I have checked under the hood and on the driveway and I dontbsee any fluids so I'm stumped. The car runs super and im debating on spending the money on the clutch repair if the smell is a separate issue. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
