oh that happens in all model years.

easy fix: don't let your girlfriend sit naked in the car. the smell is 10x stronger if you VTEC a lot too.

No you just roasted it a bit. Nothing to worry about. Just dont drop the clutch so hard.

Don't ride the clutch. Clutch-Put it in gear- and pop it out right away.

My clutch never smelled fishy. My cat did though.
