Lately while driving, when the engine is up-to normal temp, if I have to stop at lights or moving in traffic very slow, there is a burning smell in the cabin

(no windows open), but this is a different smell from say burning oil on exhaust, I had a manual gearbox clutch burn out one day and its like that but not as strong, I have trouble with the auto box as well,(harsh gear changes now and then) is the smell linked to the auto problems? Thanks everyone for looking. Mel
