Paddle shifter ?
Ultimately it could be a lot of things, most likely clutch related. A car that new should be under warranty, so take it to them and let them chase it down.
Don’t worry its just breaking in posses in 52,000 miles the smell will go away i got a 08 path finder and it smelled but in 52,000miles it went away now its was a breaking in prosses
Two things it could be are:
low transmission fluid.
clutch going out.
Probably nothng wrong with it, if the vehicle is brand new, it may smell for a little as the exhaust, transmission, engine paint, etc just got hot and just breaking in. My suggestion, if its brand new, take it easy on the car for a few miles to let everything “break in ” properly.
