I'm not sure what your describing, a good test if your clutch is slipping, go down the road at 30-40mph in 3rd gear, floor it, if your RPM's increase without your speed increasing

If you can smell clutch, you are slipping it too much, resting your foot on the clutch pedal while driving, or your clutch it already toast...

If your car is basically stock, how many miles are on it? I have 65k on my stock clutch, and I can get it to squirm a on a hard 2-3 shift still.

Cruise along about 50 in 5th, then go WOT. If the clutch is slipping it will be very obvious, no guesswork required.
