What's that smell? Clutch? 850 1994

Maybe jack the car up and check for dragging brakes. That could cause a burnt smell also. A calper could be sticking. If the clutch is slipping you can usually detect it by giving it some gas in high gear while going up a hill. If the rpms go up but the speed doesn't the clutch is slipping. Usually you can't see it in low gear unless it's really bad.
