burning smell from clutch!

I get a burning smell when I'm in traffic coming from the clutch. Should I change it soon. It isn't slipping or anything. Also in 4th gear I notice some vibration coming from the stick is that normal? It goes away a little when I go faster.

How long did it take to go out when you first smelled it. I only notice it when I ride the clutch and it goes away when there is no traffic and I'm cruising. It has been about a month.

practice driving on this clutch until it goes so you don't burn the new one...

You don't need to buy a new flywheel, but you should get it resurfaced.
