  1. Bad Clutch Smell after Driving to the Mountains

    When I took the Bronco in, I told them, “It sounds bad, it smells bad, please fix it.” The tech said, “Let’s do the service bulletin repair and go from there.” Unfortunately the smell was there before I took it in, so it wasn’t something they did. The gravelly grinding noise is gone, so that’s...
  2. Bad Clutch Smell after Driving to the Mountains

    Great suggestion, in fact that was similar to my "thought of the day" a few days ago. I did a casual visual inspection, but I didn't think to check for heat, I will do that. My thought at the time was maybe the "hill start assist" was thinking I was on a hill and it was assisting by engaging...
  3. Manual transmission scraping noise / grinding sound

    Fixed my noise so far, I'd do it. Be prepared to be without your vehicle, tho. That's the only reason I would hesitate. I was without my Bronco for 1 month! Also no loaner vehicle the whole time, so I paid for one month of owning a new Bronco and didn't have anything to drive. "No cars...
  4. UPDATE! Toyo Open Country R/T Trail Tires 315/70 (Snow and Ice Review)

    Thanks for posting this Brian. I'm looking for snow/ice tires for next season. I have not been impressed with the KO2s. I think BFG just slapped the mountain snowflake on there and hoped no one would notice they suck in snow. Maybe they are good in deep powder snow bashing, I haven't done...
  5. Bad Clutch Smell after Driving to the Mountains

    This info ended up being more helpful than I expected, thanks. I still haven't gotten the code, but it did lead me to another post about someone with worn clutch issues at low mileage. I drove up the canyon again yesterday and tried to be as observant as possible. I did the smell test in the...
  6. Bad Clutch Smell after Driving to the Mountains

    Excellent question! I need to elaborate about the smell a little more to clarify. I have a soft top. Here are the stages of the burning smell: 1. in the cabin through the vents: "Is that me? Or am I driving behind someone with issues?" 2. roll down the window: "Oh, yeah, that's definitely...
  7. Bad Clutch Smell after Driving to the Mountains

    Interesting, thanks, I'll keep an eye out for that. No codes so far, just the burning clutch smell. I googled that code, the only thing I can find is related to a "fuel composition sensor." Would a slipping clutch trigger that?
  8. Bad Clutch Smell after Driving to the Mountains

    So, for discussion purposes, let’s pretend I don’t suck at driving a stick shift. Every other post about clutch issues seems to spend a lot of time focusing on how the OP probably doesn’t know how to drive a manual transmission lol. Here is my situation: I’ve got a 2022 Badlands 7 speed 4...
