for about the last week i have noticed that when i get home or to work it smells like burnt clutch, even when driving normal. havent got on it since i noticed the smell. clutch pedal also feel pretty soft, just got the car a couple of weeks ago so not to familiar with them, does this mean that the clutch is about to take a ****. just wondering if i should be prepared. car is stock and has 52k on it,

first thing......
what's the clutch fluid look like in the reservoir? Black and murky? Use a turkey baster and suck all of it out, refill, pump pedal a dozen times, repeat process until you have good clean clear fluid. You may even want to drive it around the block a few times and check it again.
and if you need a clutch, depending on your "other future mods"... go with an LS7 or a clutch kit from Hendrix Engineering

I would go ahead a replace the clutch and and slave. LS7 clutch is a good replacemet and a/an fbody slave cylinder will save you some money compared to the stock replacement.
