I thought of so many responses and not one of them fit for a family oriented forum...

No odd smell with mine but I only put my hands where they're supposed to be.

Before I read your post, I was mildly amused at the thought of someone smelling their shifter and then posting on here about their conclusions..

i didnt notice a smell from any of the mgw ***** 5 of them including the new one
Id say use soap and water and clean it real good a few times, any other cleaner might mess up your grip
