Burning smell

Hello!
Background:
95 900s, 124K miles, recent work of note: belt pensioner pulley, serpentine belt, clutch kit updated about a year ago.
Problem:
I drove my car for about a four hour trip, and at one point had to back up a big hill into traffic. Needles to say I burnt up the clutch.
After that from time to time, especially if I go on a longer trip 2-3 hours plus, or dirve hard, I begging to smell a burnt plastic/rubber smell. I have stopped the car and opened the hood, no smell under the hood and no smoke. There is no smell or smoke coming from the tires either. It seems like the only place I smell burning rubber/plastic is inside.
Additionally, my clutch seems to engage very close to the floor. I have not kept track to see if it has been getting worse, but I kina noticed it was low. Should it be this way? Would I be having problems here if the clutch was just updated?
Any guidance would be of great help.
Thanks
