i have a 98 prelude SH manual
when my car starts
I'm having a burning rubber smell
the smell seems to be located near the radiator and coolant reservoir, is around there not very sure.
anyone have any idea what's wrong ?
could it be a problem with the transmission?
the smell is not from my tires.
thx

coolant smells funny when overheated. if you have any overflow, that could be it. check out where all your wiring runs, especially near the heat shield and exh manifold. if there is something close, it could get toasted.
