My car needs a new clutch?! 9500 miles!!!???

my car had the similiar problem awhile back, the car shakes like crazy when engaging and clutch seems to slip causing tire to spin a bit, and the road was dry at the time. and i could smell burnt clutch also, but my clutch pedal still came all the way up.

but from my experience, i left the car sitting in the garage for 3-4 days and towed it to nissan dealership (free towing from roadside assistance so why not haha. i made sure it was a flat deck, not dragging my front tires) after my car got to the dealership.. the clutch magically healed itself... so i dono

so far, when i drive my car for 2 hours straight, the car vibrates when i engage (but not as much as before and tires dont slip)

dont mean to steal your thread, but last time i was on a very steep hill, and i was in first gear, wasnt engaged yet, but car seems like its stalling so i give it more gas, somehow the RPM wouldnt go up! that might be one of the after effects of that too. Anyone know what might cause this problem??
