My clutch. 2014 escape smells like burning brakes why

Either it is due to heat from engine I.e. burning dripped oil or clutch issues.incorrect use of clutch I.e. Slipping it or resting foot on it will cause the clutch fluid to burn and waft into the car interior.i once had a burning smell issue that was due to a bin liner getting stuck underneath the engine which caused it to melt and emit a terrifying smell that caused a few days of anguish.

Could it be your clutch? It could be slipping., Revving higher than it should when changing gear? Put it in a higher gear when driving at a slow speed like 20 if it is revving when you put your foot to the floor but the speed is not matching it. The clutch could be on its way out.

1. A stuck brake caliper piston causing the brake pads to ride on the rotors while car is in motion.
2. Improper hand brake adjustment will cause the rear caliper to hook up even if the lever is all the way down.
3. Manual transmission operates with a semi-metallic clutch disc similar to brake pads can produce similar odor when you ride on your clutch pedal.
   
4. You could also be riding on your brake pedal while you operate your vehicle.
5. Last but not least, you might have run over plastic debris and stuck on your exhaust pipe melting in the process.

This are common sources of burning rubber which people mistaken think their tires are burning. The only way you can burn your tires is if you do wheel spins, high speed braking and locking up your wheels and setting it on fire.

the clutch is needing replaced

The problem is quite possibly brakes that are not releasing properly. It may be the emergency brake cable hanging up and keeping the back brakes on.

The other possibility is that the front calipers are stuck or sticking.

Brake linings are made out of the same material as clutch material.

If you are careful not to burn yourself, next time you smell burning clutch/brake, you can put your hand on each of the wheels in the center and feel them for heat. If they are warm/hot, you can tell which one(s) are causing the problem.

If you need more help post a comment.

Thanks,

No it isn't, at least not for any clutch that I have put in. Sounds like it is slipping a little. I would take it back to where you had it done, and tell them whats going on.

ther should be a separate resovoir for the clutch

some times clutch palate and brake bads makes smell,
even if you forget to release hand brake.
