    Dave, the answer lies in the type of smell. Burning clutch is like overheated brake smell. It is possible, with greasy hands everywhere that there is a hot smell after the install, but this should only last a few minutes...

    Hope this helps

    Check your gearbox and transfercase oils BEFORE driving the vehicle any further.

    Sometimes Greasy or oily fingers touching the exhaust pipe when doing the job and then it burns off and causes smells, usually goes away after a couple of days driving.
