Are you reversing UP the driveway, or is it flat?

The thing is, it does not make sense that it only does it in reverse. It spins the same way regardless, therefore shouldn't make a difference if you are in 1-5 or reverse.

Consider this, I know this sounds odd, but are you sure what you are smelling is your clutch?

Edit: Also, are you making sure your foot is entirely off the pedal when you are reversing? You may be inadvertently slipping your clutch and not realizing it.
