Default I think I messed up my clutch yesterday

Yesterday I was driving my car up ramps to change a broken fender. (Body kit makes my car too low to get a jack under it) Once I got it up on them and shut the car off, opened the hood and I spelt something weird, I can't explain the smell but I think I hurt the clutch. btw when I was driving up the ramp I had the rpm at 4,000 and the clutch not fully engauged so I'm guessing I almost burnt up my clutch? It still engauges and works fine but now I'm worried about it.

Did I do any real damage to it?

your clutch is able to withstand quite a few abuses like that. But you definitely decreased its life by a few thousand miles
