Is this normal? I've never had a clutch smell like this in a car before, but this is my first "sports" car. Is there something I can do to fix it, other than staying below 4k?
Thanks

Check to see if the upper clutch inspection cover is still on the rear of the block. If it is not there, that may be your issue. I take those covers off every 86 that comes through my shop if they are still on there because they notoriously harden and shrink, then fall into the bell housing. They are then promptly shredded by the reluctor ring and Flywheel starter ring. From there the bits and pieces are then tossed around getting onto the friction material causing rubber burning smells and clutch burning smells.
The rear cam plate cover can also cause similar issues if it is seeping.
