That's a burnt out clutch. No question it has to be replaced. I had that exact same problem with my car last year. Dealer replaced under warranty. Call them in advance and check if they have the parts. I had to wait for a week since they had to order it in from Germany or something like that. Good luck.

Well, actually, an unfortunate episode in a snow bank left a smoky smell.

Mecahnically was fine for a few weeks, then poof! Would not engage into any gear.

Clutch was replaced under warranty. Mechanics said it looked like cotton candy! Don't let it happen to you!
