+10 on the clutch.
The clutch in my old Toyota Tacoma wore out, and it was driveable, but in just about any gear, if I punched it, the engine would rev higher, but acceleration was not there.
Had the clutch changed, and the clutch lining was COMPLETELY gone.
If this happens, I'd surmise it could damage the flywheel surface, but it didn't cause any problems in my Toyota.
If I were you, I'd look into replacing the clutch soon. I wouldn't worry too much about the flywheel, they can check it when the transmission is off. The clutch is a consumable part - they'll wear out sooner or later.
Oh, and remember that smell. Nothing smells like a clutch burning!

Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to replace the complete clutch and the RMS while they have the whole thing out. Kill 2 birds with one stone I figure. Found a shop I use that will do it all for $950.00

950 is a good price. You are going to need a new flywheel too. your old one is going to be terribly heat checked. New flywheel = $900.00
I just did the whole thing with new seals. 2000.00

It's $950.00 for the labor and $15.00 for the RMS part, $377.00 for the complete clutch kit. I'm hoping I won't need a new flywheel. We'll see.

I had dealer do the clutch for me, Parts & Labor $1400... You should check with your local dealer. Sounds like the indy shop is going to save you about $80. That's not worth it in my opinion.
