Default Clutch Smell?

I've never experienced the smell of a burning clutch before....but lately it seems that everytime I do a WOT throttle run I get the brief scent of what seems to be exhaust......but I'm not aware of any leaks, so am I smelling my clutch burning? My current set-up has over 70,000 miles on it.

Have you tried going abou 30mph and putting it in 5th or 6th and going WOT? do that and see if the rpms start to climb without going any faster.

as long as its not slipping then your clutch is still good.
