Dude it's gotta be clutch. You tryed do 3rd from a dead stop wich means you had to get your recs up and burn clutch to even get it to move and it still stalled. Yeah you defintly burn a lil clutch. the smell will pass but take it easy on the ol 7

1st is such a wide gear.....what's the point of starting in any other gear? Its not like you were racing a guy.....which would still be stupid b/c it would take forever before you would be getting any real response out of the car.
Shift through the gears in order (only skipping while upshifting, like 3rd to 5th )

That is the wonderful smell of a future clutch job if you keep it up 
. Seriously though, what would make you wanna try that? You do those kind of things in other peoples cars
