Brakes and clutches are usually made out of the same material. You didn't mention you were leaking anything (so i don't think it's transmission fluid which can smell nasty as hell), so that leads me to say clutch as well. It may be in break-in mode still, still trying to get seated properly. I hope you didn't blue groove your flywheel.
probably the clutch, dont mean to hijack the thread but has someone really had a mouse crawl into there turbo

I think it's your clutch, don't worry much about it unless it starts reoccuring. i did the same thing a few years ago, i was just pulling around the driveway and slipping the clutch and i got it. It went away and never came back. haven't noticed it since...

Reviving an old thread. I have that problem now also. I had my #2 fuel injector stick open at 100% and flooded the cylinder. To make a long story short...stockers put back in, drove easy for a good 200 miles, drove hard one time for 2 min and now the burning rubber smell on startup and shutdown. Very faint after driving and idling.
