The car drives fine, it accelerated fine, clutch isn't slipping only problem I do have it getting into certain gears is troublesome at time and notchy as hell unless I am above 3500rpms.

temperature of engine is normal, oil levels are ok, coolant levels are ok. Brakes seem fine.

I am assuming I am burning the clutch,
Does it smell like a burnt clutch? Does it smell like wires melting? It all depends on what it smells like. Sorry cant be much of help trying to diagnose a smell over internet. Maybe a trip to a mechanic can help you.
