Default Clutch advice

Hey guys, i'm new here. I recently found your forum because someone from firebirdnation told me to check it out. So my question is this, i just installed an OEM clutch in my 01 camaro 5 speed with 60k miles on it. And when i went to take it for a drive today i got the smell of something burning and ALOT of chatter from the tranny/bellhousing area. Is it possible that i did not torque everything down complelty? i did my best but i had issues on a few screws. What would you recommend? Because it was a strong smell of something burning. Thanks

Does it smell like the clutch is burning? or does it smell like oil burning? you could have got oil on the exhaust?

It does kinda smell like the clutch burning but is there anyway to be 100% sure? i dont want to take the car for a ride and burn the clutch up. What if i just let it idle if it starts to smell could it be the clutch? even though its not being used?
