Default My new clutch burning smell

I'm just curious I had a new centerforce clutch put In two days ago and have a burning smell every once in a while. On my stock clutch I only noticed the smell when I killed my clutch and a couple times driving with driver error. I am driving the jeep very carefully and slow. Did anyone experience the same or could there be something wrong.

It is pretty typical to smell some clutch burn as it gets tempered. Don't get up on the clutch until you have at least 500 miles on it. After that the clutch is pretty well tempered from heat cycles although you may notice some smell for another 1,000 miles or so.

Just go easy on it for a while and it will be fine.
