I understand (and I might have thought the same), however the Voith transmission is, I believe, a 'fully automatic' unit with the clutches running immersed in oil (though I could be wrong - I am not familiar with current Voith gearboxes - I am long retired).
The brakes are discs - so could one of them be 'binding'?

I don't know how the micro-hybrid devices are connected (ie whether there are clutches or whether they are belt-driven).

Slipping drive-belts usually smell different than 'clutches', but they do squeal.
