Why when you go up long steep hills your car almost smells like brakes but not quite 2002 eclipse 63000 miles and you only smell it going up hills?

Answer 1

if its a manual it could be your clutch slipping, it more likely to slip in highter hears up inclines. if its an automatic it may be an internal fault on the gearbox, take the gearbox dipstick out and smell it, if it has a burnt smell then you have problems and need to see a specilist. robb http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=S001&UserAction=viewSimpleDiagInfo&Parameters=info sounds like a manuel transmission with a slipping clutch
