Dropping the clutch at 5k!
Do you know the cars history?
If I remember correctly, the clutch pedal travel is adjustable, maybe it needs an adjustment.
Check to make sure the pedal, linkage and hydraulic system is free to move and with no kinks, etc.

sounds like the previous owner liked to ride the clutch, that is why your clutch is now slipping. whenever it slips, the burning smell will come. time to get it change under warranty.
