Belt smell

[Richard Clark]

Wife was driving the RSX around the property real slow, looking at trees and flowers, much slower than normal trail speed, was gone 10 min at most, when
she returned we could smell rubber burning, not much but it was there. I assume it was the drive belt. Anyone else seen this? She we not dragging the brakes. Richard

I thought I smelt the same thing last week but it was the potting soil we had in the bed of the gator,lol. It smelt like rubber burning. Hopefully there is nothing wrong with yours. If it continues I would have it checked out. Havent had any problems with mine.

When you drive slow you should always use low gear, high range is for traveling fast.

f350: Thanks I am pretty sure she was in high. Thanks Richard

high range is fine if you don't have any strain or load on cruising around. Mine did the same thing and I believe it was breaking in. No smoke or anything, just a smell.
