If any one has ever a got a burnt rubber smell coming out from there car let me know what you did, its be going on for about 3 days now in my car but only when I drive it on the highway at 60mph or more.. I'm driving a G37s 6mt with about 127xxx miles on it, no check engine light, I haven't seen any type of leaks yet. Could it be the clutch? or the transmission? .. I don't want to take to the shop just yet I would rather try to fix it myself if its a hose or something small like that.

After driving it a bit check your wheel temp (placing your hand on each wheel), is one hot (hotter than others)? My daughters Corolla had a stuck brake caliper causing a tremendous amount of heat and actually making the tire heat to the point of smelling.

Ricio1991 do you know if there's a way I can check it or would I have to just take it to the shop?

My g35 had a nasty habit of picking up plastic bags. One time I had a tarp blow under my g35. Not sure how long it had been there as I drove the car maybe once every three months. Anyway I made it about 4 miles before I realized it was my car smelling. That smell never really went away haha.

There some ways if you look up how to check for slipping clutch it can help I believe it's like going 30mph put it in 6th gear and see if the rpm jumps, also on the freeway do you feel any hesitation at higher speed,ms, have you tried accelerating hard on 4th or even 5th gear, mine even pulled on 6th gear as well after 80mph just an FYI.
