Shouldn't have any issues as long as you cleaned the oil off the flywheel and pressure plate friction surfaces before installing. Give it a few days, and the burning smell should go away. If it was your trans fluid, it would smell like smoky rotten eggs.
The car doesn't have any more or less "thrust." Your new clutch probably has more friction/bite than your old clutch, which makes it feel like it's grabbing harder. Again, nothing to do with trans fluid.
Ticking/noisy clutch can be normal as well. If you installed an aftermarket clutch, it can chatter. If it's an OEM clutch there shouldn't be much chatter. Aftermarket clutches can chatter a lot, especially those with lightweight flywheels. Again, nothing to do with trans fluid.

Well that definitely gives me some perspective. Thanks a lot dude!
As for the ticking it actually is coming from the engine。
