I may have to experiment a bit more and get a more accurate description, but I'm certainly not aiming to slip it. I probably am a little bit though as manual is still new to me.
It is immediately after a high rev, but again it doesn't happen all the time. It's possible I'm doing something different (slipping or not shifting quickly enough?) when this happens but I haven't noticed anything different when it happened, besides the smell obviously.
I should also point out that this is not at all how I drive around town, it's just something to do for fun once in a while when no one else is on the road and I want to push the car a bit.
Thanks again for the replies.
