Clutch break-in cannot be determined by mileage.

The first 20-30 clutch engagements from first gear should be normal driving. This is only a precaution. Even if you beat the crap out of it from day 1 (which you didn't) it will likely have no consequence.

If you smell burning clutch, you have a big problem. Did you install a complete kit?
