New clutch smell

I just replaced the clutch on my frs. haven't even driven it 200 miles yet but at the end of the past few runs (mostly highway) when I park the car I am get a pretty strong smell that I think is the clutch. It is fully engaging/disengaging and I've been as easy as I can on it. Is this normal or is something probably wrong? I didn't get any weird smells the first couple of times I drove it.

Pretty normal. Gotta burn it off with break-in.
