    I don't think your clutch is fine at all by the sounds of things!

    Revving + burning + no movement when in gear is most likely the clutch is completely worn away. (in my opinion/experience anyway!)

    While it was on the way out, your folks may (or may not) have noticed the car revving up more than usual will going up hills, or as you implied - a load of noise and revving but no "go" after changing gears.
