Yeah, I know the smell from being around others doing stupid things in manual cars. Out of curiosity, what actually makes the smell? Just the friction material of the clutch being overheated/burned?

Yeah, similar to cooked brake pads - it's the copper and ceramic bits of the clutch that smell so bad when mixed together.
