Ford Escort Clutch Problem

ZX2: I recently got my car stuck in snow and got out. In the process I cooked the clutch pretty good (smoked a little) everything works as it did prior but there is still a faint burnt clutch smell after driving for about 15min. I did a couple of tests to check slippage and there is none. Is my clutch ok?

CONTINUE TO DRIVE

THE SMELL ......IT WILL PROBABLY SUBSIDE SOON

NO SLIP IS A GOOD THING

YOU MOST LIKELY ARE IN NEED OF A JEEP CJ OR THE NEWER WRANGLER

............THE OLE ESCORT JUST WASN'T MADE FOR ANYTHING BUT ASPHALT
