When my CSC went out, I never experienced any warning signs. The only issue I had since first ownership was the annoying chatter and vibration when starting out in 1st. It didn't happen with my 350Z. After replacing the CSC, this problem went away 95% of the time.

Yes,
Burning clutch smell quite often sometimes for odd reasons. Occasionally, if I tried to start very quickly in first, the clutch would slip and the engine would redline rather than making the car jump forward. Sometimes I would get out of the car and smell burning clutch under "less than spirited" driving conditions.
I actually went back to the dealership to ask about it and was told that "burning clutch smell is normal during the first few months of ownership". I probably should have gone back after a year.
My baby is currently in the shop. They gave me a Toyota Corrola S as a loaner. It sounds like a lawnmower when I step on the gas. Beautiful weather this weekend too.
