I took 992gnt's advice (which possible save me from destroying my freshly installed clutch) .
The clutch would smell just from backing up - it was like it didn't heat up.
I made 1.5 - 2 full turns on the pushrod pulling it out (pedal is closer to floor) so it engages sooner. problem vanished as soon as I took off.

i recently had a gruppe-s lightened flywheel, SS clutch line, and exedy single disc organic clutch installed, and i have had pretty much every "problem" you stated. i have noticed since the install, about 800miles ago, that the clutch burning smell has stopped. The smell only happened when starting out, and it was like the car had been launched, but it has now stopped. The car is much easier to drive now that it was when the clutch was first installed. I get the same racket you get on the decel while in gear, i believe this is called engine braking. For now I am satisfied with the car, as long as it doesn't break in the very near future. Good luck

I just got done installing my ACT with Gruppe-S flywheel. Asides from chatter coming from there, I haven't had any of these problems. No smell, no shaking or anything like that. I didn't have to adjust my pedal either.
Now what I did have a problem with (not because of the clutch/fly itself) was that one of my friends forgot to fully tighten the driveshaft bolts. I lost two of them on the way home. There was a clicking sound which would be followed by VIOLENT shaking/vibration fromdirectly under me. Even though this doesn't sound like your problem, might be worth it to double-check. Also re-check that rear motor mount.

I just hope I didn't pull some life out of it in the 180 miles it did give me trouble

When are you off? Wanted to get with you on this pedal adjustment for mine. Shakes like crazy at times from a dead stop.
