Ive always been paranoid on hygiene, I only use unscented products (have to anyways due to eczema and just general allergies to things in many products). I keep ontop of laundry,bedding etc, oral hygiene. All of it. I feel like ive ruled out the chance of something rubbing scent onto me, basically -

Ive noticed that my skin seems to smell of bleach. ??
I know for a fact its not from cleaning products etc as we use non bleach and nor do any of my products and such contain it. I notice its primarily strong on the upper and lower arms, my legs not as much.

What could be causing this? Ive noticed it within the past few months and im worrying how it comes off to others.

I cant tell if its the car or user error 🫠🫠

Within the past few months of driving ive had these issues : pasted from my notes so theyre not very well written

Clutch makes a clicking/clunk when disengaging/engaging, ive been told im probably overlooking things and that its meant to happen

Letting off clutch up just a tad too fast (mainly at lower speeds) causes serp belt to squeal..whine and so on against something as the car jolts forward from it (i believe its that?)

Gears arent always there, and i have to forcefully rag it a few times, even with clutch fully disengaged , regardless of speed/can happen stationary, once took a minute to get into first. At a busy roundabout. (Refused to drive for a month after that, optimistic i am)

Stalling more than usual, even on flat roads (probably appauling footwork than the car)

Cannot do much uphill, a while back it stuck exactly at 40mph, BUT its climbed faster up much steeper inclines before) dropping gears would just raise the revs a tad and nothing speed wise : even with foot flat down.. etc has no increase, on flats its fine, just takes 3 business days to hit 70

Ive had this car for almost 1 year or so, (and ive only passed as 3 months back) , so its put me off quite a bit from driving again,

If it helps in any way, its a 2009 Mazda2 Tamura DE..
Thanks in advance
