so i DD my 240 and when i drive it for a certain amount of time i start to smell burnt rubber and at times it would get worse. I haven't been riding the clutch or anything, I've been driving manual for years now and this usually doesn''t happen. My clutch feels fine everything engages correctly and i don't grind gears when i switch from gear to gear. Maybe it's my transmission fluid? or i don't know. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

From what I've read, burning clutches smell like eggs

I think it's because your Ex. Manifold is to close to your floor pan, and the underbody is coated with a undercoating type deal and that could be is what is burning.
