Default Reversing is smelly!

Everytime I back my S into my porch (yes I said porch not porsche )...there's a fair bit of 'slip' and 'grind' from the clutch/LSD.
By the time I'm parked and out of the car there's a rather nasty 'smell'.
What's wrong? or is my S just letting off some ?

TIA.

Excessive clutch slip. Change your backing technique (and possibly adjust the clutch pedal).

Yea, I have been having this same problem. My driveway is uphill, and its a bitch to park, lol.

I mean, I park, but yea, there is that smell of burnt clutch afterwards, haha. Actually, thats not funny....

Wow, talk about about a late post. 7 years, haha.

Same problem here. It eventually went away though. I'm just more careful in letting the clutch go. Just try to be more gentle. Adjusting the clutch pedal sounds like a good idea too.
