I have to second nickpapa's comment.
The smell from the clutch was because the kid slipped the living hell out of it, causing it to overheat drastically. The overheating essentially burns the clutch lining, which, when it cools back down, has a much harder "glazed" consistency. It doesn't grip very well, and it would give you an inconsistent clutch engagement.
In short, that clutch disk sounds like toast. Too bad. I'm a big believer in letting kids sit in an interesting car--but I've never had one drive off!
