I have been smelling what apears to be clutch disc from my car when driving and idling. It also smells like brake pad burning but my brakes check out.

The only thing Ive done lately, (1 week ago) was the Transgo shift kit. Do you guys think it's related? I admitedly do not know much about aodes.
Thanx for all responses

If it's an automatic, it has to be brakes. I can't think of anything else that will make that smell.
The shift-kit shouldn't cause that smell. How does the tranny work now? Does it seem like it slips more or less between shifts?

Is it normal for all of this to go wrong or did I get played when I bought this ONLY A MONTH AGO.
