Hello. I've tried to find the information on the internet but to no joy.
I have a Hyundai Getz automatic transmission year 2007 currently done 58k.
When I push the car, for example on a steep hill or when overtaking I sometimes get a clutch smell. Is this bad or just something that happens with automatics?
I don't get any smell with normal driving and it's only happened a few times.

presumably it is not an automatic...but an automated manual, which still uses a conventional clutch. Just with automated controls.

And as such, very possible that clutch needs changed. Is the clutch slipping ?

I have no idea. I wouldn't know what a slipping clutch felt like

If you're accelerating and the engine rpm's increase...but vehicle speed does not increase. And you usually get a burning clutch smell
