Default New clutch has burning smell

I just put a ClutchMasters stage 1 clutch in my 93 Si along with a new CM lightweight flywheel. I broke it in with no problems, but after about 1000 miles I could smell clutch burning. Usually when I downshift to a high RPM. I've never had this problem with a stock clutch. Does it need more breaking in or should I check it out? It's my first clutch upgrade and any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's very possible that the clutch is defective.
If you can, pull the clutch out and check if the pucks or discs are burned.
