The odor from the plastic intake manifold is nothing to be concerned with . I have pulled several cars off to the side of the road when the the odor started coming through the vents , then lift the...

Ahhh, in that case it's most likely just a hot catalytic converter. Although I push my engine to 6000 rpm's for hills occasionally the CVT will rev the motor between 3500-5000 rpm a lot on cruise...

Extremely doubtful your clutch is the culprit. It would likely have glazed and lost its grippyness from slipping up a mountain lmao!! (IE: you would need a tow truck)

What's a plastic intake...

Do what now? The intake manifold doesn't give off an odor just because it is plastic. Unless it is cracked or broken and is letting vapors from the PCV system escape, it would not have any way to...

The smell is likely the plastic intake manifold . Yaris we had and Hondas did / do it occasionally .

I still maintain it is not the clutch and that the dealer is not going to be able to reproduce the problem. Are you getting whiffs of a smell while driving? Or is there a strong, pungent smell that...

HOW TO: Adjust clutch engagement point - Mitsubishi Mirage / Space Star

Clutch adjustment!!! (Solved shifting problems)

Clutch smell is very distinct — unless you are slipping the clutch A LOTwhen starting off or when downshifting, I doubt it is that.

Most cars, especially those with smaller engines, emit sort of a...

This could be the plastic intake manifold . This has occurred with Yaris and Fits that we have . It happens when climbing steep mountains , especially new cars . I've pulled over to pop the hood and...

This definitely sounds like a clutch slippage issue. How much free play (when you release the clutch pedal from the floor) when does the clutch engage? It should begin engaging about a couple of...

There's lots of things that could be going on here.

Some Forum members have complained that their clutch was out of adjustment. If your clutch needs adjustment it could lead to slipping, and...

If you want to minimize a/c surge run it on recirculation and higher temperature setting. That reduces load and improves MPG and reduces surge.

And it will feel better after break in, less load...

Check out laceygirl's garage entry thread on her Baby Girl for inspiration. She hasn't posted for a while but she put up loads of details on her mods. It's a nice place to start.

Hahaha I love the name of your Mirage. Welcome to the forums! I feel the same way, I test drove a CVT but had them ship me a 5mt from another dealer.

If you do come back to the east side be sure...
