I've been told by more than one person the best way to test a clutch for slippage is to leave the brake on from dead stop and put it into 5th. Gently let off the clutch...if it does anything but try to stall you know the clutch isn't holding as well as it should.

edit: still no smell, still stalls maybe once every two weeks due to clutch slippage.

Almost as bad as when your car starts to burn Blinker Fluid, watch out.
