As far as the smell - just driving on a hot day at 5K rpm for that distance may heat the engine up to make strange smells. The clutch should not be "burning" at speed, unless it out of adjustment or the pressure plate is wore out (or the clutch disk itself is worn out).
You stated "i do abuse the clutch". My question is how so?
I'd suggest you check the transmission oil level and check the clutch adjustment.
To test the clutch to get an idea if the disk is worn out - set the emergency brake, put it in second gear, rev the engine to about 3k rpm then slowly let the clutch out. If the engine stalls, the clutch still has life.
Keep us posted.

Tried the test and the engine did stall
Did a test drive was able to get car into 6th gear back to 5th and then back to 6th the burning smell is still there I’m guessing transmission fluid must be low no way of checking it myself can do any car work due to HOA safe bet would be to pick up some motul and take it to a shop?
