1973 Bad smell after driving! Help

[bustedtype2]

I have a 1973 bay window bus that I just got done doing some normal maintenance.
New front pads
Repacked bearings
Bled and adjusted brakes
WD40 back brake mechanism “Not shoes”
Fixed exhaust leak with new gasket and high heat silicone between exhaust and header.
Added small amount of gear fluid to trans until it came out the side hole.

Took for a test drive and now it smells like burnt rubber. The farther I drive the worst the smell gets.

Stops fine
Brakes do not get hot, clutch dose not slip or chatter. No smoke or fire. It’s been about a week now. It dose not smell like burnt oil. What can this be??? Need help!
Thank you

You probably are smoking the silicone. May not have been fully set and can't handle exhaust temps no matter what. Oil and grease from you hands will get on to the exhaust pipes when you touch them and take a while to burn off as well.

put your hands palm open near the hubcaps but DO NOT TOUCH THEM to see if there is excessive heat coming off the brakes. You can instead use an R gun if you have one to check temps.

Do the same for the fronts

I checked the brakes and all still cool. Would high heat silicone smell like that? I have used it before and never had this problem. Is it possible for the gear oil I put in make it to the clutch and that’s what’s burning? Don’t think I put that much in but you never no.

Did you paint or introduce any cleaners to the insides of the heat exchagers

I may have got some silicone on them. I did paint the exhaust with high heat BBQ paint. But I have done that before without a smell.

Thank you Ray
I will check the wheel cylinders tomorrow. The emergency brake lever was rusty so I hit it with WD40 thanks for the instruction much appreciated. Question if a clutch was burning and smelling would it still do it’s job perfectly ?

A clutch isn't going to get hot unless it is slipping either because you are using it to get going or because there is something wrong with the clutch adjustment or there is some kind of failure going on.

Silicone burn off.

I’ve found computers in the new made on the new place quite smell, but the old factory ones smell just fine.
