Engine gone south?

Engine gone south?
Just wondering if any of you guys noticed this as a symptom of engine failure. The other night I was driving and came to a stop and noticed the car shaking when at idle(manual tranny) and a srong smell. Just a block from home, I decided to park it. As I pulled into the garage, and before I got out, I was surrounded by the smell again (the car still idling very rough). The smell was just like that of a burning clutch. So far I have only changed the plugs with no change in the condition. So my question is...is a bad smell associated with any of your engine failures? FYI: I have not had time to perform a compression check yet and no codes are being displayed by the ECU.

Airing on the side of caution, I have not driven the car since this has occured. But, from when I noticed the problem to when I got it into the garage, it drove normal. Keep in mind that I didn't test it's max power while in this rebellious state. I know from you guys that when a problem occurs, keep it cool. I don't want to break more than is broken.

Then again most people dont know and drive how they want anyway. Thats how things and more things get broken.
