I've never once smelled clutch in my car.

nope not normal to smell your clutch. Even doing a burnout I do not smell it.
Make sure your fully releasing the clutch before hitting the gas. It will still stay in with even a little clutch pedal travel (like a inch or two).

Many tips for manuals:

-Don't let your foot rest on the clutch pedal at any pressure, even if you think you're not pressing it
-When taking off from a stop keep RPMs as low as possible for the amount of acceleration you're planning to do. There's no reason to go above 1000 RPM before the clutch is fully out if you're just putting around
-Between shifts (especially when ripping around) make sure you're not "using the clutch to bring the RPMs down" if you catch my drift. Your timing has to be correct to line up the RPM drop to letting the clutch out then finally giving it throttle. If you give it throttle too early the RPMs rise more then the next gear calls for, uses the clutch way more then you need to.
