My clutch smells like siht

well i only use my car to drive from home to school and it's a 5 minute drive. i know how to drive a manual also. so don't tell me i can't drive.

well i don't know what i did except this one donut but i don't see how that could have possibly ****ed up my clutch

i did two tests to see if my clutch is gone. the 4mph shift to 5th and floor it. the clutch grabbed fine but i think i accelerated at 1 mpminute(not really but you know the feeling i'm talking about).

i dropped the clutch at 5k rpms and the clutch grabbed again. except the car started to go everywhere

but with normal driving the clutch still smells like ****. kinda like a newb driving a clutch for the first time.

what could be the problem

it could be that the clutch isn't making clean contact. that happened to me when i first got my car... it burnt out at 7k miles... normally they don't cover clutches, but the clutch pedal was miss linked and so when the clutch was in gear, it didnt make complete contact causing a lot of smelly ish and the eventual burn out
